Car Alternator

That's how we all learn next time you'll do better.

No, I think I figured that out myself yesterday.
I think you first separate the housing by removing the 4 large screws on the sides. Then you have access to remove the riveted thread from underneath.

Which involves stripping the alternator apart.Defeats the purpose of having it on the outside.

I'll let you know this evening. I need to replace the plugs - the disconnected plug got toasted.

I'm surprised none of you asked me to check the plugs!

Should not have been disconnected. No farking idea how that would/could have happened.

But I guess, new plugs can work too :p Then your car is sorted for another 60k kms at least.

You do realise what happening, right? Not only did charging your phone damage the alternator but it also damaged a spark plug. Looks to me like a series of unfortunate events, time to slaughter something and plead with the ancestors before you find that the gearbox is gone too.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to thechamp again.

Spark plug got toasted? Come on. Either spark plugs are okay or not, all of them. Get new ones or simply clean and reset the gaps on the old ones.

Spark plugs don't get disconnected by accident either.

It is your die-hard spirit that made it last this long, what usually happens is that someone starts a thread about a genuine question, they are insulted and denigrated, they then decide to dish insults of their own instead of focusing on the issue at hand, at the end they are defeated by the mean gang of experts and they dissapear never to be heard of again.

Remember when I cautioned you about the words you said about someone's mother? That is the level you are not supposed to degenerate to because we have experts on this forum who have been doing that for ages and you will never win against them, rather ignore those and take the gentlemanly approach, they will soon lose interest and wander off somewhere and only the people who want to help will remain.

Wise words from thechamp.

The op weathered the assaults on his intelligence like an old hand, some were perhaps warranted at times but still a baptism by fire and passed with flying colours :D
