944 turbo alternator replacement

Does anyone have any advice or experience with the removal of the alternator on a 951?

If you are planning on doing it yourself go to clarks-garage.com and printout steps http://www.clarks-garage.com/pdf-manual/elect-01.pdf Not a difficult job, nor does it require any special tools. Just time and effort!

Another option is use factory manuals for procedural guidance. Don't use the Haynes manuals, I have found them to be inaccurate and or missing steps often.

Last option is drop the car off with Dieters, Black Forest, or Pioneer and tell them what is wrong. Come back later and car will be fixed. No dirt under the nails, no wondering if your tightened the belts correctly.
