daym, it seems impossible to take out the alternator without removing the manifold. i unbolted the 2 screws that holds the alternator and unhook all the plugs but i cant seem to remove the alternator to change the pulley, do i take it from the bottom or the top? what's the easiest way to take out the alternator? i'm hoping i wont have to remove the manifold or the breaking fluid container. please help

 

gotta take out the axle and take it out from the bottom.

 

By taking that out, what are you losing again. Someone refresh my memory, all your in car apliances?

 

i unbolted the screws that hold the alternator in place.. daym is the axle the only way to removing the alternator? is it hard as hell to take out like the right side?

 

Why are you trying to take out the alternator?

 

got into a car accident and the engine shifted and it put a dent on the alternator's pulley.. so i'mma replace it.. so the easiest way is remove the axle? could i start the engine without an alternator? because my engine rattle because of the little dent ont he pulley i want to see if it rattle after i remove the alternator belt

 

Yeah - you could probably start it if your battery is strong, but it wont stay that way without it being charged by the alternator. I have no idea how to remove it though, but if ForceFedGSR said you have to remove the axel, I'm sure he is correct.

 

Yes you are supposed to remove the axle and intermediate shaft. I have done it, it's not that hard. Jack up only the front left side of the car, that way you won't have to drain the transmission when you pull the intermediate shaft out of the differential. You will probably need someone to help hold the spindle while you remove the axle, and then again when you go to put the axle back in.
