Q&A

Removed the fan clutch and shroud. Removed the belt tensioner pulley and the six bolts around the retaining ring that holds the alternator in the housing. Removed th electrical connections. Seems there is nothing holding the alternator in the car, but it still doesn't budge. Can't get the retaining ring off or budge the alternator. Is there some trick to this? I'm guessing that there is a gasket in between the alternator and the housing since it is water cooled, but I wouldn't think there is anything holding the retaing ring to the alternator. That doesn't seem to budge either. Any suggestions?
