tacomaguy1 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 ah, I thought you mean the black plastic piece on the power stud might need to pry up a little piece on the side with a little flathead, or push a little plastic piece in. You can kind of see it in the pic you posted. On the long side Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moh.vze.com Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I got it removed finally. Now I have to remove all the other weird wire clipped ons. This damn car has clean stock wiring but there are too many clip ons that takes force to pry them apart . It's like removing the door handle thing that clips into place where the door locks are on the camry. I eventually broke one of them and now I have no door handle bar panel.

moh.vze.com Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 What engine you have? That's old pic. Hmm. I wonder if I bought the right alternator DC Audio - Singer Alternators - Knukonceptz - XS Power - Hybrid Audio - Rockford Fosgate - Second Skin Audio - SMD - Sundown Audio - Elemental Designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moh.vze.com Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 So after I've removed all of the bolts. How do I go about taking the alternator out of the vehicle? There's no room... That stupid black water pipe thing is blocking the way and the relay box is in the way too! Any ideas? I am stuck!

Jessica Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 The hose you are pointing at is an a/c line. That doesn't really look like that tight of a fit. If you take the large radiator hose off, it will give you a little clearance but you may not have too. Worse comes to worse you may have to put a jack under the engine, take that front motor mount off and jack the engine up a few inches to get some extra clearance.

I've just made some room by forcing the relay to move out of the way. So that small hose thing is for the AC. I'm going to try and squeeze the alt through this slot. How fragile is the ac hose? I don't wanna break the damn thing on accident. By the way, I'm not a mechanic so I really hope this goes well. Thanks again for walking me through this guys! Going to go buy a 12mm socket. All of my sets are in inches except a few pieces I've bought over the years that are in mm. I keep forgetting to by a socket kit that's in metric system for my Japanese car DC Audio - Singer Alternators - Knukonceptz - XS Power - Hybrid Audio - Rockford Fosgate - Second Skin Audio - SMD - Sundown Audio - Elemental Designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 i still dont see how the ac hose is a problem. the alt looks like it will fit through there completely fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moh.vze.com Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I am assuming I should loose the block bolt before trying to go for the tensioner bolt? The Tensioner bolt won't budge.
