You forgot about the 2 10mm nuts and 2 10mm bolts on the top holding the bracket.
How about 2 minutes?

Well, I know that you guys warned me about the aftermarket alternators going bad... but is it possible that they'd go bad this quickly? ?
Well, I know that you guys warned me about the aftermarket alternators going bad... but is it possible that they'd go bad this quickly? Because it seems like it was just a quick fix. Starting two days ago, the electrical system would cut off on me. Not as often as before, maybe once or twice a day, but the engine would keep running. Then, today, I left an hour ago to just go drive around, and lo and behold, the car completely cut off on me... twice, engine, electronics, everything. =(
This is a sad day. Any other suggestions as to what it might be? I just put a new battery in about a month, maybe a month and a half ago. Would it be a good idea to get it tested as the old alternator may have made the new battery go bad this quickly?
I told you so...
Seeing as how they didn't fully charge the alternator before sending me on my way, should I be able to get the free installation next time? I'll get a free alternator because it has a (lol) three year warranty.
Or do you think I should just get the shop to order me a new alternator and try to install it myself? I probably have all of the tools needed sitting somewhere in my garage, and I've got a battery charger that I can use to make sure the battery has a full charge.
