V6 Alternator Removal Mk2
Instructions
I used a Haynes manual for this but here are some extra tips which I hope are usefull and even save you some time and garage bills. You need to jack the car up and go in through the drivers side wheelarch. The small bracket is best got at with a flexibe drive and socket or a UV joint.
I removed the cables once all the bolts were out because it gave me a bit of flex. I found the best tool for the main bolts is to use a verry long extension. When I say long I mean coming out the wheelarch on the other side of the car, this is the only way to get the correct angle on the bolts and be able to use the full movement off a ratchet handle.
I lay under the car and held the socket in place while a friend turned the handle. Now the lump is loose you will need to undo the tie rod end to get it out. Not such a bad job as long as you use a balljoint splitter.
Once I found the right tools the job was not too bad and putting the new one on was, dare I say it...easy.
Just don't forget to tighten the electrical cable or you will be under the car at the roadside again. Oops.
