Default alternator question??????
How does the bolt holding the wire on the back of the alt come off? When I tried the connector turned as well as the bolt on the inside? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The bolt on the inside stays on.. loosen the outerbolt 1st and seperate the wire from it. Should come off easy then..

Sometimes you have to use two wrenches too. One to loosen the front and one to hold the back.

Cobra2WS6: I want to know what makes you the alternator king. I didn't even know there could be one.
