So this looks a little bit worse than the others I have seen on this site.
The leftmost piece was still attached by screw; I just took it off for the picture.
There was also another piece of the rotor that sheared off, which I found in the oil drain plug catch.
Can anyone tell me how to get the alternator rotor off?
I assume it is a reverse thread (ie. righty-loosey) but I want to make sure before I break anything. Also, how do I steady the engine so that it doesnt turn over while im breaking the bolt for the rotor loose? If I put it in gear, the engine will still turn over, with the rear tire moving.
I know that I need to use a special bolt once I get the rotor bolt off. Is that something I can get at the hardware store or cut myself?
Thanks guys!
