Clocking AD244 Alternator I'm running an ICT Billet 551396-3 relocation kit that puts my alternator in front of the passenger's side head. The kit doesn't recommend using a 145A alternator, which I found out that I had after installing the brackets. The output stud is right where the oil fill cap is without the truck extension. If I clocked the alternator 90* everything would clear. I know that the older alternators aren't too bad to clock as long as you watch the brushes, but it seems that there isn't much information on the AD series alternators. The disassembly instructions that I've found show that the stator stays with the front of the case and is desoldered from the rectifier. Is this necessary?
Would my best bet be to remove the pulley and try removing and clocking the front face instead of the rear, leaving everything attached? Or am I going to run into issues with the front case bearing?

This instruction laid out what I was thinking:

I had no issue removing the front by threading the nut back on and holding it in a vise while working around the outside with a metal dowel and light taps.
