I noticed a few descriptions on some other threads here about removing the alternator both with specific flywheel puller tool and rear axle threaded into alternator. I just attempted the axle routine, tightened as tight as possible, held alternator with automotive type oil filter wrench and tapped axle with hammer. Nothing. WD40, harder strike, nothing. So, as I understand it the specific puller is just a M16x1.5 bolt that threads in and once in contact with crankshaft begins to pull by way of the threads the alternator off, does this really work?
What works better/what is it thats actually removing the alternator, the hammer thwack or the threaded axle or both? Any suggestions would be great and any theory here would help too.
