Originally posted by Ray: there are three wires...
one is a plug that you have the REMOVE THE COPPER WIRE going across it, then slide the plug off.
the second is a small plastic grey plug that is VERY fragile. use your small flathead to lift up on the tab that is recessed below the surface level of the alternator, and then slide the clip off, as well..
The third is held on with a bolt (7mm, IIRC) THIS is why you removed the positive battery terminal.. huge sparks and fuses blown if you didn't.
I thought this pic might be helpful, by the way... its a 10mm nut.
I'm needing help with the top alternator bolt. the 4ft extension thing doesn't make sense to me cause i cannot see the top bolt from the drivers side wheel well. the splash shield is removed. i need help now. i only have a few hours.
