flipped alternator Reply #2 – October 18, 2008, 12:09:16 PM ....I must be on everyone's ignore list! that's cool, I can do a writeup...it'll probably be a lot of what NOT to to. I am doing a 5-lug swap too so I can take pics of that to, if I can figure out how to make my pics smaller. I might just post it on my car domain page. Quote Selected
flipped alternator Reply #3 – October 18, 2008, 12:34:34 PM If you just need to re-clock the housing, no prob... Can be done by removing the bolts and gently prying the front section away from the stator(the least amount necessary to rotate)... Then rotate to the best position, reinstall bolts... If you pull it too far froward the brushes will need be reinstalled on the slip rings, this necessitates regulator removal... May be necessary to remove the pulley in some instances...BTW I'm assuming it's already removed from it's mounting bracket... Quote Selected
