    URGENT: Can't fit alternator out of engine bay

    Like the title says, i've unplugged the wires, unbolted everything, but now i cant find a way to get it out of the engine bay. Ive been stuck since yesterday and any help is appreciated.


    In the second picture you can see the alternator down there.

    im a v6 guy and have never messed with the 4cyl but im assuming you've tried to go down with it as well? if it is getting stuck on something you can try rotating it in the little "pocket" down there so the bracket it up, then rotating it coming out so the space in the bracket pivots around stuff too (that's how I had to get my v6 one out)...best of luck, don't be afraid to take other stuff out too, as much as it sucks. sometimes going deeper is the only way out

    remove the strut bar and the solenoids with bracket from the intake manifold. push the power steering and AC lines away and just work it out of there. I'll come out it need a bit of persuasion
    God created turbo lag to give the v8's a brief moment of hope.
