my civic seadn needs the alternator changed and i don't have alot of time to change it so i just help if theres any quick way to take it out so i could exchange it

 

drop it from the bottom.

 

****** the enigine with a front end loader shake violently until it rips out then you can easily remove the alternator ....... or just get it from the bottom sometimes a 12 or 14 on a longlong extension makes that bottom bolt real easy to get to ....

 

taken it out from the bottom means u have to drop the lower alt bracket not hard thing to do.

 

alright thanks

 

if you unbolt the brake master cylinder from the booster, it slips rite out.

I've been able to magically finagle it through the driver's fender well before (of course the tire needs to be off).

No, you don't. You don't disconnect the brakelines from the master cylinder. Just the master cylinder from the brake booster. I know because I did it that way this past weekend.

 

take it to a shop?

Now that is intriguing. Have to check that one out.

 

Yeah, that is one way of doing it.

The only problem is the drivers side axle is a bear to get out with hand tools, specifically the axle nut.

Exactly....and you don't have to take it out. Alt. slips right out....between the engine and the axle over towards the tranny. I can do it in about 15mins now that way had a run of bad alternators on my car....very frustrating.

 

Unbolt the master frm the boost and move on the side with lines still attached. Alt. slides right out without having to crawl under the car or jack up the car at all.

just unbolt it bolt in the new one and let the old one just lay there, find a bumpy road and drive like hell, it'll come out.
