Re: Alternator "Screw" lower bolt '79 300D

Randall, can you put a probe through the empty hole to confirm a missing 
bolt vs. one that broke off?

A missing bolt is easy - just match its mate.

If the bolt's stud remains then a pivot point remains and, though not 
specification, works - as you see. To remove a broken stud is a task 
with no guaranty of success - remove the alternator and struggle to 
remove the dead stud. And what if you shear it off - then the pivot is 
gone so the bolt must be replaced by drilling it out and substituting a 
bolt, nut and lock washer. Not much space to work there.

You know about sleeping dogs......
