LOL - I absolutely 100% agree. LOL I wish my testosterone wouldn't have been guiding my hand that day when I removed the bolt. I had looked at it and thought briefly, but I guess I just didn't understand removing that bolt would mean the alternator would fall downward on the pull of the belt tension. You live you learn. I just hope this thread helps someone in the future.

Yeah, so I've learned. I'm usually really good about that stuff. It is basically just about not wanting to accept that I messed it up. Honestly. Cause now it means having to remove the alternator, machining the bolt hole, etc.. way more trouble than I'd intended on going through to replace a friggin pulley.

Thanks for all your advice and info.

2 Questions
What would be an equal but ground point? I was thinking as long as I'm connected to the alternator to the ground cable thats loose with a match or less gauge wire that I'd be ok. Is that right?

Why wouldn't the solder thing be a good solution? Iffy? I'm just curious.
