Yes, that's what everyone keeps telling me, that the hard part is done. Which is why I'm offering cash money because for someone who can do it quick it's easy money. Yet I can't seem to "slide" the alt. in, get the 2 holes to line up, and put the bottom bolt in temporarily from the passenger side. Without the connectors, I can sometimes line up the 2 holes. With the connectors, the top hole refuses to line up. I can get the bottom to line up and the top within the bracket, but I can't get leverage to push it in place. I did try to move the sliding bushing (not knowing whether they moved or not) but my pry bar is too big to fit in there. I filed the alt tab a little bit hoping to make it easier, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. So, any takers?
