Hi,
I tried takin my LX alternator and putting it on my new SI engine.
I just found out that the alternator adjusting bolt mount had been broken off inside of it.
So you cant use a new bolt cause it threaded in there.
I also cant just pound it out cause the threads.
So I dont know what to do.
THanks

if i understand the problem, you should be able to drill into the center of the broken bolt and use a stud extractor (couple bucks @ any hardware store)

if the stud extrator dont werk u can drill out the bolt that broke off and re-tap new threads in

Or if there's a bit stickin' out, you can use a center punch on the edge of the bolt and slowly tap it out with a hammer.
