david052 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hi I am looking to remove the alternator from my CVRT for cleaning and repainting, and to get rid some of the accumulated grease underneath it. It seems to have a 1/2" allen headed socket buried underneath it - does anyone know where I can get a really loooong allen key from?

andyroo Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 A bit of 1/2" hex bar in a 1/2" hex socket on the end of an extention. Thats what I used on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Might i suggest removing the end cover and cleaning out the dust from the brush box while the alternator is out. I had an CVRT alternator that would not work, and after much diagnostics and head scratching, found the brush box full of dust. Easy to do if you remove it.
