So the alternator on my 1981 300 TD has bad bearings...no problem, just take it off right? Weeelllllllll I got one bolt off, the one attached to the adjusting nut, then I snapped off the lower bolt about half way through the alternator...wait, it gets better...so the bolt that is closest to the engine block is giving me fits. I am scared to death of snapping this one off too, but I have gotten the nut off, but the bolt seems STUCK. I mean stuck! The whole alternator moves, bracket and everything, but the bolt will NOT budge. Is it threaded all the way through? I BP Blasted the hello out of it, and nothing. I have changed lots of alternators, this one is killing me. Am I missing something? AND if I do manange to get the bolt out, what about the one that I snapped off? I have to be missing something...there is no way that this should be this difficult. Anyone had similiar experiences?
