Hi All
I've got an 89 Sportrak EL and the alternator's gone. I've had a quick look at it and I'd like some advice on removing the alternator. Doesn't look like it will come out from the top end of the engine so I guess I need to drop it out of the bottom Any tips on what needs to be disconnected (apart from the obvious cables) greatfully received.
Also been trying to get hold of a manual - can anybody help
Cheers

Hi,
I had an alternator decide to quit on me just recently and to remove it you have 2 options.
1. Remove remove radiator grille and radiator.
2. Use a lift and get at it from underneath by dropping the diff.
No. 2 is the prefered option and is fairly straightforward.
I think many owners have a manual on CD. Keep asking and one may come up.

Hi
Thanks for that, sometimes you just need somebody to confirm that you've not missed something obvious.
many thanks
