Hi. I am trying to remove my alternator to take it in to get it tested to see if it works. My car will not start without a boost. There is some sort of cover over the bolt that holds on the alternator. I can feel the bolt when I put my pinkie finger inside the cover, however none of my sockets seem to fit the bolt????? Any ideas........ I like to tinker with this car so I would prefer to get this done myself. Thanks in advance for anyone's help. Great car chat here.......

Does the Cover Pop off?
Mine didn't have any cover of that sort? :screwy: :rofl:
The Alternator was one of the easier things to remove in my opinion.
Have a Picture?
Maybe its a Metric Allen Key?

V-DUB-RIZ, thank you very much for your help. I placed my pinkie finger into the hole in the cover and there was a small hole in the bolt. I tried my allen keys ansd sure enough one fit. I really appreciate your suggestion. I was able to remove it and will get it tested to see if it still charges the battery.

Glad I could help! :smile:
Hope the alternator helps you solve the problem...
