Well, they said to just reclock it so the stud is elsewhere. OK. Makes sense. Now I am trying to remove the old one myself, and am having a bear of a time getting it out. I bought the Haynes manual, and it is little to no help whatsoever. The whole section on removing and reinstalling the alternator is a whopping 4 column inches of text (3 columns width page) that is packed with insightful information like "remove the two alternator mounting bolts and remove the alternator". The black and white 3 X 3 1/2 inch square photos only show the easy/obvious steps, so aren't much help. Don't waste your money on this manual for this job.
Wow, way to phone it in guys.
I can't find a single Youtube video on a 3rd gen alternator replacement, and a Google search for a write up didn't return anything for 2016 or newer either. I am getting really frustrated with this, but I will figure it out somehow. Something is hung up behind the alternator after I remove the two mounting bolts and wiring, somehow. But, you can't see in there from any angle to see what it is. Is there another bolt I am missing? It feels like it, but I can't see that side of the alt.
