Alternator / battery failure warning -how to test alt / reg?

Nice going young man .. i dont consider it to be that easy either .. and ive done a few :D

One tip .. hitting the bush in the alternator can snap off the bracket that side .. seen it done .. i tend to pry bar the alternator off then ..

Get a socket thats larger than the steel bush but small enough to support the bracket ..

Someone holds the alternator with the socket on the ground and the bush in it.

Then you can beat it as much as you like without fear of the bracket snapping ( put the bolt in and hit that ) as the socket supports the bracket and the bush can move inside the socket .

Refitting the alternator is much easier if the bush has moved back a bit .
 
Good advice!!

Hopefully I will be able to fit the alternator tomorrow. If the regulator arrives and is correct..
