changing alternator this week My alterntaor finally died on me last night. Thank god i got home first. Anyways, im gonna be doin this with a buddy and hes convinced he can use a 1/2 ratchet with extensions to lossen the belt. I know that wont work. So my question is, after reading the stickys on this, is my best bet honestly to just go with the hose clamp method? Cuz i dont have time to wait and order the damn "special tool"

So with a fully charged battery, think i can make it on a 30 minute drive to get it to the garage? I really dont feel like pulling over 5 times on the expressway to jump it..plus its freezing out

Got the new one in no problem. Bought a 6$ metal bar that bends 90 degrees at the end and its 1/2 square at the end. Heated it up and flatened part of it with a hammer. Fit right down in there no problem and no 125$ special tool lol. Was done in 30 minutes
