I've got it disconnected but can't seem to get it out of the engine bay. It looks like I can drain the radiator and remove the bottom hose but that still doesn't look 100% foolproof. Help?

USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler Usually easiest to drain and pull the lower hose, especially w/ power steering. Drain into a bucket then refill the rad. after you are done. May be able to squeeze the alt by the lower hose or if no p/s, pull it out the top. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: 83 Pickup Alternator Removal [Re: parshal] #768579 11/30/06 02:58 AM Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 2,101 Lacey, WA kyle-22r Body Damage is Cool yep, have to pop the lower radiator hose off and slip it out. even then you have to get it lined up just right. learned that one the hard way a few years ago, took me 4 hours! i can yank an alternator in about 20 minutes now.

I might be able to drain the rad only a little bit and then remove that hose.
