My alternator went bad so im replacing it, I have read all the threads I could find with many different ways of doing it. I have gotten the alternator off the engine just cant seen to get it out of the engine bay. It seems like removing the throttle body and battery and pulling it out the driver side may be the easiest route but cant find a walkthrough for removing the throttle body.

Is it easier to remove the passenger axle shaft and pull out the bottom? I have replaced the clutch and the passenger side shaft is not the easiest to remove and replace.



Thanks for any info!!!

 

A little further down the page I found this.

^^^ good one jspecteggy^^^ taking it out through the top passenger side is perferable as per most evo owners!

 

good how to guide.

 

It just won't come out the top, I can't get the alternator bracket off because of the idler pulley so there's no room to het it out. I'm trying removing the axle and pulling it out the bottom.

 

The bottom doesn't work either, the green plastic boot on the transaxle doesn't come off with the axle so it doesn't give enough room. I'm stumped an most if the front end is apart.

 

FINALLY!!!!!! I only had to disconnect the driver engine mount and the main cross member underneath to drop the motor a few inches to make room to pull it out the top. That was almost ashard and complex as replacing the clutch!!!

 

almost had to look into this recently, gave me a scare, didn't want to have to replace. its all good under the hood though

 

damn I had to pull my axle out when I did this on my 05 good show!

 

Thanks!!!
