He, He, He. He's a very good one, many people around here use him, or his partner. Their names are Jack Daniels, PhD., and Jim Beam, PhD.

Well - that solves it. I'd been seeing Jack Daniels for a while, but then tried Johnnie Walker - sometimes he was wearing red, sometimes black, but most recently green. I guess I should head back to Mr. Daniels.

Just take a week off work and do it yourself. j/k. It is a pain in the butt job having done 2 in the last 6 mos. I finally removed the engine removal bracket on the back bay just to make it easier to get my hand in there to loosen the top alt bolt. Good luck.

Only a week?
Is there any way to do it without dropping the y-pipe? I can't even SEE the top bolt, and I can't get any leverage to remove the alternator from the bracket...

It's not THAT bad. Just need the right tools. Skinny, average sized hands helps too.

Beauty write up. This actually goes very well with another maintenance issue that I am trying to take care of: replacing plugs and wires. I ordered the Magnacor 8mm and Bosch +4 platinum plugs.
Also ordered a Kurtz Tru Rev air filter... Hehehehe. All for the wifes car...
If it ever stops raining here, I'll try it this way. Unfortunately, I already took the drive shaft out - which was a real pain in the arse. If I can avoid breaking the bolts and nuts on the y-pipe, I'd prefer to do it that way.
