Alternator removal

[yi8tvr]

Is there a simple way of removing the rear bolts on the alternator to get it off. Ive removed the front one one the slider bar but cant drop it enough to get to the back ones as a pipe underneath is stopping it from lowering.


HELP


Its a sp6 T350

Ive checked the 100amp fuse bar by the starter motor and thats ok...

Does anyone know what the Denso Alternator is off of

Thanks for the advice how have you got on with the removal? Fortunatley mine is back at the dealers under warranty but I'm sure it will have to be done sometime in the future, the questions I'm asking are is it engine bay heat that causes them to go, is it wrongly sized, or is it TVR cheap rubbish again. Engine bay heat now thats a subject to debate. I've heard ceramic coating exhuast primary pipes would be good idea.

My only advise is

1/ Give yourself plenty of time
2/ Get yourself one of them telescopic magnets, as you will drop a washer/nut or bolt.
3/ Expect bleeding knuckles
4/ Dont have children around you whilst working (the air will be blue)

Most importantly replace it with a Lucas, they are slightly larger but worth it.

And yes they mostly fail due to being cooked.

Oh and dont forget to check the 100amp fuse bar bolted at the rear of the starter motor.
