Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

right side in low then slip the left side behind the bracket and may need a small push with a pry bar (very small dont break anything) then use the screw driver between the bracket on the right and alt housing and lift it up to center it

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is there a trick to putting alternator back on? Do I need a huge pry bar or a BFH? I wrestled that thing for like 20 minutes and could not line it back up. The thing was PITA to remove so I new once I got back to putting it on, it was going to be a worse PITA.

POST 2Original post

You need to turn the alternator slightly clockwise to clear the mount and then turn counter clockwise to mate it up. It can be a PITA.

POST 3Original post

You need to make sure the bushing in the rear arm is pushed out to maximize clearance.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes it looks seated, I think I am going to shave about 0.0010" off of it, there is not need for it to be that tight. 1999Porsche911 - I tried all different directions, that one didnt work, the mounting lugs are just too tight.

POST 5Original post

Make sure any burrs on the mounts are filed down. It is a tight fit. Soft metal distorts easily.
