Christian Cherniss Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hello All, I recently received a H/O alt and I' am having an issue with the install. There's one bolt that doesn't quite line up the others are fine. Any of you with H/O alts have to do some gentle persuasion to get them on? It's a 2001 olds Alero GLS sedan with a 3400 V6.

Christian Cherniss Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 The alt is set in and should just bolt up the stock one does.

SLYentist Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 does loosening the other mounting bolts a bit give you enough play to line the third bolt up? Cables and wires almost never fail; the terminations do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEEKAY Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Like others said try to loosen the other bolts for more play. I had to modify my bracket by elongating one of the holes and using a washer to fit my Singer 275. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Does the other bolt or bolts line up properly? It's so close it just looks like you slid it in funny or there is something underneath it stopping you from setting it in properly. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Christian Cherniss Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 There's only two other bolts on that model one is not inserted the other one the bolt goes thru ad there is a nut but nut is not on. Pic of old alt below bottom bolt hole is the one we are talking about long cylinder left side is bolt not inserted back left is one that is sitting on the bolt but no nut on it. And the misaligned bolt is about a quarter of an inch off. Bee could you explain "I had to modify my bracket by elongating one of the holes and using a washer to fit my Singer 275."

SLYentist Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Is the bracket you're aiming for a cast part of the engine block? or is it a bracket that's bolted to the block? if it's the latter, maybe you can loosen that bracket a bit them fasten the alt bolt, and tighten everything down together.

I was about a quarter of an inch off on one of my bolts too. I elongated (widened) the whole on my bracket to give it enought play to put the bolt through. I then just put a washer over it to make up for the elongated part on the bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Pull it back out grab a tape measure and measure from the outside of one hole to outside of the other on both your factory at and the h/o. If they are the same measurement you're getting hung up on something. To me it looks like the alt just needs to pivot down on that end and it would line right up.
