So here is 40,001: Is there a way to get the alternator out without removing the lower radiator hose? If not, any trick to removing the hose w/o doing a drain or keep the mess minimal? If I have to drain - how much fluid are we talking about? I have power steering, so no room to go out the top. 1985 4Runner w/ 22RE EFI Re: 22RE alternator install - remove lower radiator hose?

USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler You can probably do it w/o removing the hose, but it is so much easier with the ose off. 2 gallons of coolant, use a bucket and you can refill when done. I did this swap on the side of the road once, 5 minutes to drain the rad and the same to refill. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: 22RE alternator install - remove lower radiator hose?

It can be done without taking off the hose. You just have to keep turning it until you get it out topside. '86 Toyo 4wd '04 600RR Re: 22RE alternator install - remove lower radiator hose?
