How to replace altenator w/o removing half shaft?
I have a 93 integra and I was wondering if there was a way to take out the alternator without removing the half shaft and the cv axle..

As I recall, if you remove the tire and crank the steering wheel in one of the directions (don't remember which one), you will have enough room to wriggle the alternator out.

I've pulled mine right straight up, you have to find the right angle and a lot of jamming.
You might scrape a little paint doing this, it's a tight fit.
And I've also only done this on 94+ integras.

You woud need to unbolt the halfshaft, and push it to the left, you should be able to push it 2 inches or so, and then thats where you would need spend some time wedging and angling the alternator to get it out.

i unbolted the alternator and got it by moving it around in the back of the motor under the manifold...you just gotta move the hoses out of the way by hand and take off the intake

You dont have to bleed your brakes by just unbolting it from the brake booster. It will move enough to get the alternator out.
