Alternator bracket bolt replacement\install

[CharlottaOkoren]

I had a similar situation. I can share my experience. I used a bolt of strength class 8.8 with a full thread, but it is better to use a bolt of strength class 10.9. We lift the engine, remove the old bracket, and unscrew two bolts, M8x65 mm, with which the support bracket is attached to the engine block. As expected, I didn't have any trouble with the lower axial bolt. I got it behind the support and knocked it out. Before starting the process, I bought bolts of different lengths and diameters in Scrooz Fasteners. Unfortunately, you are unlikely to find information about the bolt size, so I advise you to buy several in advance and try on each one.
