Alternator installation tip.

I won't ask you how you know that.

Thanks…

I won't ask you how you know that.

Probably for the same reason I suggested heat and penetrating oil. Luckily I had a spare bracket, but I had to pull the P/S pump pulley, unbolt the pump, swap the bracket, etc turning a 15 minute alternator replacement into a 2 hour job.

During installation/removal it's smart to have the battery disconnected.... or so I've heard.

My 97 k1500 has a chunk missing. It was like that when I bought it. I don't doubt a hammer may have been involved.

I feel your pain. When you turn your back for second," here I'll get that for you" . The unskilled do gooder . You know the kind of help you don't need.
And it was 111° the next day at the treasure yard.

Yow! 111° omg am I happy I moved to the mountains. I don't think we went over 90° all summer here

Since it's a casting, and tolerances are a little vague, with the mount and AC or AC delete bracket this was the next best idea. At least they are not some heavier washer spacers that would get lost, then be like gold to find probably.

Or make!

Sometimes having an engine that doesn't leak oil is not a good thing.

I've always just used a small bolt with a couple of washers and a socket and a nut. Tighten the nut on the bolt with the socket over the bushing/spacer like pictured above. Real easy that way.
