problems removing alternator - 10/28/2007 7:15:33 AM    e_900se   Posts: 10 Score: 0 Joined: 5/14/2007 Status: offline i have a 94 900se, the alternator has gone bad and i am having a hard time trying to replace it. i have removed the bolts and have it completely loose, the problem is that there is no room to actually pull it out from under the car and pull the new one back in. i have a haynes book which states that you simply pull it out through the wheel well, however there is absolutly no room for it to come out.  if anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreaciated. thank you Post #: 1
