I have a 93 Q-45 that drains battery almost as soon as installed.From want I have learned I need to replace the alternator. I have the belt off, upper shroud removed, 2 bolts on the alternator out. But it does not want to dorp down or pull forward so it can be removed.

Also can not find wiring to remove from the alternator.I am working without a lift on the floor in my garage.

Please advise as to what I have to do to to reach wiring and are there only 2 bolts holding in place. GLaw

You are doing it the hard way, but there are many posts about what has to be done to remove it.

I had a post on here a little while back about removing the alternator. I was able to remove it from the top after removing the battery. That may be in part to me having small hands though - if you have Andre the Giant hands, you might not be so lucky.
