Hi,

Thank you for the donation.

The alternator adjusting bracket is held by a nut ( 12 mm hex) under the alternator pulley. After removal of nut, release the tension of the belting by turning the 10 mm adjusting bolt anticlockwise.

Remove belt and release the adjusting bolt bracket from stud.

For easier removal of alternator, dismount power steering pump and remove bracket.
