Lost my alternator belt and limped home. Got in there today to replace and find that my alternator is hanging from the adjusting bolt assembly.
What size bolt(s) do I need to bolt it back up to the engine block? Are there one or two bolts required?
I went to the Napa store and they sold me a "generic import alternator bolt kit" (it was a place to start). Both were too long to insert from the outside (wheel side). Then I noticed the flange on the other side of the alternator and the hole running through what the FSM calls the alternator plate. Both bolts too short to run the entire length.
So, I go back to Napa and exchange for one bolt long enough to go all the way through both alternator flanges and the alternator plate hole. I insert from the inside (engine side) and get most the way through and run into threads (on the outside alternator flange???). So now I'm back to thinking I just need one short bolt from the outside into those threads and call it good. But what about the other side of the alternator?
TIA
