simpo Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 right if you look at where the pulley on the alternator, just to the left is a 12mm bolt (think its 12mm) thats the one you wanna loosen and lever. just make sure when you lever it to hold the pressure when tighten it over wise will be worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
