After you realize that noone knows what a EF engine bay is like. Take the Master Cylinder out( i had to change mine anyways)and the Alternator comes right out.

hahahahhahah

i had an ef and i never took out my master cylinder to remove my alternator

did u know there was a hole underneath ur engine bay? :P

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

It wouldn't fit....otherwise i obviously woulda done ti that way

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

you know, i jsut changed my alternator on my ef. nice thing was i had a lift. so much easier. took about 15 minutes. i love lifts

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

to take it out underneath you gotta take out the drivers side axel and half shaft.

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

lol, man, I feel your pain. Pain in the butt to swap those out, aren't they? >:(

Nice pretty colors under the hood :D And that valve cover looks lovely, haha

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

Dude, you dont have to take out the master cylinder ::) You dont have to take out the axle ::) Take off your stone shield (plastic stuff) that doesn't do anything anyway and turn your wheel to the left, the alternator will come out. Changed one on a 91 hatch 2 weeks ago. Think smarter not harder. :)

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

^... you serious? I didnt completely take out my master cylinder but I did unbolt it/move it. I remember there being just a metal piece blocking the alternator from dropping to the ground :-\

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

Might as well have just pulled the motor and tranny. :-X

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

Yes, unless they put stuff in the way on older ones and got rid of it by 91 I am correct. I did this on a 91 EF hatch without any of the headache you guys are talking about.

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

Nope its call big bertha My 4ft pry bar an the engine moved enough it fell out....LOL Jeff will verify this....

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

taking a motor mount out and a floor jack does the trick

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

That might be it then. Mine was an 89 CRX Si. :-\

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

hey but you got the job done. think of it as a mechanical workout training to get you ready for the turbo install :-*

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

Yeah man, it comes out the bottom no problem at all, you can just drop it right underneath or you can just pass it easily along the bottom over to the drivers side, pop out your CAI and pull it up. Thats what I did

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

Everyone has their own way of taking out alternators, EF's you can sneak them out through the fenderwell, EG's wont sneak out unless the brackets off. The easiest way I have ever down a EG is just take the intake pipe off and slide it around the backside of the engine ontop of the tranny. Taking a axle out is another method, or on B-series its just way tighter and you can loosen the front engine mount and use a 4 foot pry bar and move the engine forward and the alternator will slide out between the rear cross member and axle (as cadracer mentioned) but you really need a lift for that. ;)

I also have seen some people just loosen up the mastercylinder mounting and leave the lines connected so you dont have to bleed the brakes and master.

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

lol thats funny, ill try that sometime haha.

i tried 1000 different ways of tryin to get the alt out without takin the half shaft and it was impossible :P

might be different on honda cars with more room down there i guess

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

go ---- my mom huh???????????

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

That's just what I did. Couldn't see another way :-\

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

Yes Kain go ---- your mom!

Sin>> yes under my hood is interesting :-X :-X :-X
my valve cover= :-X :-X :-X

My master cylinder was fucked so i just killed to birds with one stone :D
But i still honestly couln't see getting it out from underneath. We did my friend's EG in less then a half hour. right out the bottom NO problems!!!

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

Just take off your valve cover, clean it/sand it, and spray it flat black (wal mart paint). Let it dry, then sand off the Honda symbol and "16 valve". clean her up and she will look good.

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

When I changed the alternator in my 90 CRX si, I was able to get it out the top without taking off anything at all. You have to turn it a specific way and it's tight against the brake lines, but it comes out and the new one went in the same way.

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

lol chris, so did u guys get it to work?

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

you dont even have to take ---- out. i took off and put on an alternator with a b16 in a crx. its a piece of cake man.

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

Sin>> once i get a valve cover gasket then i will do it.
I was even thinking making it smooth with no writting on it

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

just use a jack and lift the front of the car. after that you can just pull it out, and put it back in, from the bottom. if you dont lift the front, the axle is in the way just barely. i've done this six times on my 90 dx crx (yes i have shitty luck on autozone parts)

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

Yea, I changed mine out in like 10-15, just through the bottom.

And what the ---- are you drinking that shitty ass beer for? :-X

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

he's canadian.

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

I like to drink either coors light or Macra bavaria

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

i was looking at this and was like "haha tough luck buddy"
then my friend at work that has an89 civic says "hey can you help me with my alternator tomarrow" lame ass.

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
 

apparently just take it out through the bottom :-X

Re:AlteRnAtor Fun 56K go fuck Kains MOM
