yes....the dreaded alternator bolt needs to be removed....that POS one that ALLLWAYS seizes (lower alternator bolt)

Does anyone have tricks? I've tried quenching it....but it didnt help....and I lit the belt on fire.....there isnt enough clearance to get an impact in there....I'm considering chopping the bolt head off.

 

breaker bars are your friend. also you can try the hooking 2 wrenches together trick...

 

Well...here is the problem:

There isnt enough clearance to get at the bolt from the top....the strut tower is too close to allow a rachet & socket in....so I have to get at it from the bottom....longest arm I can fit is about 2 feet long....even pushing will all my weight against it ...it wont budge

 

slip a bar over the end of a breaker bar and try that...

and see if you can lay on your stomach and push on the bar that way...you might get a little more leverage...

 

Been there done that

Thats what I was dooing yesterday....I think dynamite should be part of all tool sets from now on. I think I'm just gonna cut the bolt head off with a grinder

 

Common guys

 

Ent up cutting the head off with a grinder and then using a center punch combined with a sledge hammer to push the bolt out.
