alternator tip

Post by Big Red Toy »

disconnect battery b4 trying to tighten the belt in the dark, you might accidently put the socket on the output bolt & touch the engine with the socket handle & tear a finger nail. OUCH :bad-words:

you don't need to lift the whole battery connector, you can usually just pull the alternator fusible link, that way you don't lose your radio presets etc.

but yeah, good tip. sparkle sparkle :)
