In the middle of replacing alternator! Need assistance

[Debo]

I have a S14 with a Black SR20! I am in the middle of replacing my alternator. After taking all the bolts out allowing the alternater to pivot up and down. the alternator is pivoting, but I am unable to remove it.

Any suggestions???


Tried to search, came up with nothing specific.

it's probably just rusted in a bit, you could use some penetrating lube and / or a prybar to coax it out

[I LUV MY S13]

you sure you loosened all the bolts and belt right?

[devlmaycry]

The back side of the bottom mounting hole on the alt. has a sleeve that sets in it. The sleeve, when the bolt is tightened down, sort of pinches/grabs the lower bracket on the engine. You can see it on you new alt. it might give you a better idea of what I'm talking about. Just keep prying and pulling it will come out!

Good luck.
