As an Engineer I'm all about spreadsheets. Bitches love spreadsheets. I think a good place to start would be to start a thread where people could copy and paste from the OP into their post and fill in the blanks. That way all of the information would be in one place and we could keep an updated spr...

Get another 10 mm bolt the same length. Don't worry about the plastic piece, if it breaks it breaks if not fine, just break that 10mm thats holding the + wire loose so you can get that alternator down where you can work on it. As far as the broken piece, it sounds like its the piece that goes throug...
