GP1138 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 do i get a reach around? If you use Slick's method, you might get one from him. I'm glad I never had to do this on my Z. I got rid of it before the Alt had a chance to fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 once I have the GP, i think first thing once it gets warm, I'm gonna buy a good HO alt, have at it on the cutty, and sell off the current one (after swapping for a new one, the lifetime warranty, of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White93z34 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 never done it that way, so i woulden't know, but seriously its not that awful just reach behind it, its a tight fit so it is a help to have small hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CutSupreme93 Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 what did you use when you just reached behind it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtremerevolution Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 All this work for a damn alternator? You have my sincerest sympathies. My alternator was $80 with a lifetime warranty and took me 15 minutes to replace, which includes the time it took to get my tools out and put them back in the toolbox.
