Can I move or bend this hose from the alternator on 2H?

Post by twr7cx »

I've got an FJ45 with a 2H in it. Bought a set of extractors, just went to install them to see that they foul on this hose coming off the back of the alternator - a problem for 2 reasons - 1. can't get the extractors in place because the hose is in the way, 2. the hose would be touching the extractors if I put them in place and the heat would more than likely wreck it.

I'll be honest, I don't know what the hose is for. My previous experience is with Falcons and there alternators only have wires coming off them!
Can I just loosen it, turn it slightly? Or can I bent it a bit at the metal part?

Yeah, but why from the back of the alternator? Why not from the intake manifold?

All done now.

2h alternators have a vacuum pump on the back.

Cause the diesel doesn't supply enough intake manifold pressure.

diesel engine, bugger all vacume. Thats why the alt has a vacume pump on it.

Just bend it, loosening it and turning it first.

All answered and quite correct.

Alternator has vacuum pump for brake booster. Undo the banjo fitting and spin the pipe out directly away from the extractors, to give you a bit more clearance too.. just for the heat etc.

It's actually the oil feed for the vacuum pump. It has a locator hanging off the side of it - if you turn it the locater will no longer locate. Not a problem so long as you keep an eye on it. Careful bending the pipe - kinks easily :oops:
