Just got done at 1:30 a.m. The worst part for me was that I had the alternator back in within 10 minutes but it took hours to line up that upper bolt. I've rebuilt a couple of engines in my earlier days but nothing this frustrating. I'm thinking about going and watching the dealer do one just for entertainment sake.

Car runs great and the volts are right at 13.8 ...... very rewarding.

Gave myself a number of baths (face and hands and arms) but its not coming off. Scrubbed my hands practically raw.

Thanks again for the help.

Don
