easiest way to remove and install your alternator on an 92 sc400

ya i couldnt find n e thing on the internet to help me out with my alternator situation. So i just manned up and went in myself. And it was a lot simpler than made out to be. And i want to share it with you guys. Every body said that you had to go under the car disconnect every thing and fandangle the alternator through a tiny whole.(wrong! wrong! wrong!) i found the easiest way to do this was by removing the bolts from the coolant tank and jus push it aside. i also disconnected my thermastat housing and moved it over for some extra room. this gives u a clear lane right to where the alternator goes.

NOTE! i did this techinique putting the alternator back in. So Im not so sure it will be as easy to get out this way, but i definately recomend it...

the alternator is very easy to remove, remove the belt, lose the 2 bolts, slide it out, turn it and unplug it. You can remove it between the clutch fan and the engine, it's tricky but you can do it without removing anything else.

ya i tried it that way first but it was jus to wierd of a maneuver, if you remove the coolant tank tho, u have a straight shot to it, and room to make all the connectons, rather than having to look at a wierd angle you can look straight down at it..
