I'm struggling to keep this clean so bear with me. :rant:
I got the alternator out after some struggle and finally remembering you have to pull it off the guide pins and rotate it clockwise until the post for the power cable can clear the frame in the back.
So now I have better access to the bolt holding the business end of the bleed-tube and the bottom left cylinder bolts, some access to the top bolt behind the banjo but still almost zero access to the bottom right bolt. I can't even get my fingertip between the bolt and the obstruction(muffler or frame).
At the moment I've just walked away from it, trying to calm down. I want to remove the bleed-tube which sits on top of the cylinder maybe that will change the access to the top and bottom right bolt, we'll see in a while. :rant:
Pffft, It's probably my shitty tools, the guys that said it was "easy, just a couple wrenches" probably have those tiny socket sets and sockets that can turn corners.
~O~
