Got started on changing the inlet manifold gaskets and want the alternator off and out of the way. It has a different idea. How does it come out?
I have the two bolts at the front out, the passenger side rear one and the drivers side rear one loose but not out. I've also the nut that's on a stud at the rear, uppermost passenger side slack and with that last three fasteners slackened the bracket they seem to hold is rattling slack but the alternator is still fixed rigid. What's holding it?
edit PS.
Might help if I mention it's 1999 5.7 Vortec.
