Getting the Alternator Out,'89 hatch

[ReaperBJJ]

Alright, I've been at it for hours and finall have the alternator completely free, but now there's no way I can successfully navigate it out from the top or the bottom. I think if I took the fan and fan shroud off I could maybe get it from there, but I don't know how. Also, is there any lines at the bottom I can disconnect to help pull it out? I think I already poked a little hole in the big radiator line with the ground bolt on the alt. I guess I'll inspect the damage when I have more energy and more light(broke every 60w bulb I had for my trouble light so I was using a flashlight)

Just take the shrowd out. No need to accidently break stuff or puncture hoses. I thought it'd be pretty easy to take out. Tons of room in mine....

YYou can do it without any extra work i took mine out it just takes a lil patients. As soon as i got it free i i faced the alt downward so i wouldn't puncture any hoses then just maneuver it out i pinched the radiator hose till; it fit just be carefull and make sure u got a working batt and ur 75amp fuse hasnt blown or else ur gonna waste more money
