im in the middle of pulling the engine out of my 3rd gen camaro, engines seised solid, so need a few tips along the way.
as i cant disconnect the torque convertor from the fly wheel coz the engine does not turn, if i seperate engine and box, which ive done, will the torque convertor pull out of the gearbox, i take it, it does.
might need some more tips when i pull engine apart this week

Go to Halfords!!! I kid you not, the alternator is common to a lot of GM cars and are quite easily available refurbished!
