alternator removal help???
can someone please help me?
I tried to pull off my alternator last night to instal a 180 T-stat.
Removed the 2 bolts that bolt it to the bracket, but now there seems to be something holding the bottm on. it will pivot as if i didnt remove the lower bolt. possibly a spacer, but it doesnt seem to budge.
any suggestions?
thanks

I sure hope for his sake that he didn't mix green and orange......that is bad bad news. We had a car come in the shop one day that had that treatment done on it. The owner wasnt happy when he had to buy a new radiator and pay to have the whole motor douched out. We cut the old radiator in half too look in there, that stuff mixes and it almost looks like jello. Wierd stuff but it is "better for the environment".
