[diesel_mercedes] Re: Removing alternator with L bolt.

 

You have to remove one bolt(bottom)Remove nut one one(L bolt)  Lossen one bolt.(Bracket bolt)  When the bracket bolt is loosened you can pull up on the bracket and then you can loosen the tensioner nut. The alternator is all floppy at this point.   The L bolt twists sideways and it comes out easy.  Don't drop the alternator on your head or ground.  Don't force the L bolt.  If it doesn't come out easy you are doing something wrong.  The three big bolts are 17mm/11/16.  The tensioner nut is 13mm.  Once you know it's easy.  The secret is loosening the bracket.  It gives clearance to undo the tensioner nut which releases the L bolt.  The hardest part when it goes back in is the long spacer on the L Bolt.    Lawrence Rhodes
