A little Alternator advice?
'98 Civic with power steering, unless I'm missing something obvious it looks like the axle has to come out to remove the alternator? On my other '98 with no power steering you can maneuver it out, but for some reason on my PS car no matter what way I turn the alternator there's just no room to get it out. Is there a trick I'm not seeeing?

i'm going to look up the labor time for replacing the altinator. if its really high for an average altinator (about .8 hours) then it may require an axle removal...hang on guys

I sure do appreciate all the responses! I've got the lower bracket out, I guess I just haven't hit that magic angle it needs to be at to get it to slide through.

Re: A little Alternator advice?
I've got it on jack stands, but still have the splash guard in, it seems flexible enough I can pull it out of the way, I just keep getting hung up on the axle. The more I mess with it the more I think I'm going to have to pull the axle to get the new one in properly anyway. Getting the old one to fall out is one thing, getting the new one seated right and holding it in place while I get the lower bolt through it is another.Thank you for all the great info Ron!
