Are you serious dude? I've got to do a full tip tranny replacement and could use some help if you're offering. I'm also gonna do the water pump whilst the engine is dropped/lifted so I can get behind the engine mount.

What help do you need with the alternator? Can't get it out?

The alternator part is probably the easy part. It's removing the alternator belt itself. The pulley tensioner bolt is stuck on very hard, trying to move it begins to round the bolt when Stuart and I tried. The tools I have used so far don't have enough clearance between the chassis and the pulley, so some sort of trickery is needed to get something on there securely while clearing the chassis. Apparently a 6 Hex Spanner is the best tool for the job to stop the bolt from rounding and to have enough clearance, however when asking at both Bunnings and Supercheap for one they had never heard of a 6 Hex Spanner :\ (there are 6 Hex sockets which fit on better as I currently have one)

Hmm if Payaya doesn't have a similar tool I can use I might pay to borrow that off you if that's cool :)

Edit: actually it's just a ground down socket. I'll attempt to make one myself ;)
