Dear Sir
Despite tilting the engine forward after removing the dogbone upper motor mounts, there is still insufficient clearance to pull the alternator out over the top of the engine.
What is the smart way to pull the alt from the eng compartment?
Thanks
Peter

Thanks Merlin2021
That confirms my course of action.
Seemed like the way to go versus pulling the windsheild wiper linkages/motor et all.
Appreciate the help.
