There is an easy way to repair your alternator blades, although it does require 2 people. Using a metal rod (floor jack handle or re-bar work just fine), slide it in between the right tail pipe and the nitch in the bottom of the facia. The have the second person on the ground guide the rod and push it against the bent alternator blade. Then using a 2-3 pound sledge hammer, gently hit the rod untill the blade has been bent back into place. Make sure the person on the ground is wearing safety glasses as some dirt will fall. -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx, Jim Reeve <ultra@xxxx> wrote: > ACK! New problem.
