alternator bushing JAMMED !

[Black Yaris]

if it came off like that, you should not modify it to reinstall.

if this is the same part you took off your car and you are trying to reinstall it..... YOU are doing something wrong

Many times you have to align the alternator PERFECTLY onto the bracket, and wiggle it a little at a time till the bolt holes line up

The bushing type piece is a separate piece that can wiggle, but should not rotate. In his case, it broke loose when trying to loosen the alternator, so now he can't tighten the bottom bolt.

if it's separated parts, can I remove it ?
somebody replied it can't be removed

right now, it now turning itself into the cast it HAS turn in, so now it's jammed in a way it can't act a moving bushing...

If its is jammed, and not freely rotating, then you should be OK. It just has the bit of wiggle to help with getting the bolt lined up.

problem solved !

I've treated with a chemical that remove rust and soaked that part, add somes oil and a bolt + impact tool on the bolt et voilà !!
