1994 Alternator removal trouble

**dkc2001** · 04-13-2017

Hi Guys,
I removed the 2 bolts on the front after slipping the belt off. Then I removed the small bolt holding the yellow bracket and removed the bracket, and unplugged the power. Unfortunately, it's not budging. It's my first attempt at repairing this, am I missing a third bolt? Does the larger nut under the yellow bracket need to be removed as well?? Even the Chilton guide only makes reference to the two bolts in the front (outside).

Sorry for being a Noob, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I never got stuck like this with any other alternator.

I'm assuming you have a Grand Prix and a 3100 so, stick a pry bar between the alternator and the black lift support and pry the alternator out.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. We got it moving a little but I didn't think to pry it. It is a 3.1 Gran Prix.

Edit- Actually, there was a third bolt at the end of a support under the yellow bracket, and once I loosened it then I could remove the alternator.
