Default anyone know how to short an alternator?

Like the topic says, need to ruin an alternator. Had to replace it asap, the replacement had effed up threads but I didn't have really any tools with me. Threaded it as tight as i could so I could get home, now bolt is broken off inside... oh no!

if your trying to ruin it beacuse it has replacement warranty, it's no ones fault you f*cked up installing the first one. you should have had asked for tools to borrow and you wouldn't be on here asking for advice to cheat someone out of an alternator. just man up and buy a new one!

Find the nearest junkyard and buy a used alternator. Most reputable junkyards will give a 30-day warranty.

If the threads on the alternator weren't fucked up in the first place, it wouldn't have happened

If the threads were effed up in the first place a normal person would have taken it back.
