Wouldn't you know it?
Back at work after the break tomorrow, so I thought I'd spend today removing the alternator ready to drop off at the rebuilders tomorrow morning.
The top bolt undid really easily, no grief.
The lower bolt was a complete shit and I've ended up chewing out the lugs in the torx head. I've stopped fiddling with it, because I was only making it worse. Tried all the usual tricks, WD40, 3-in-1, tapping it with a hammer - stopped short of lighting the blow torch though.
Next step was to try some mole grips on the head, but the thought did occur that if I sheared the head of the bolt off, I'm stuck.
So I suppose it'll be off to the fixers this week for the alternator issue to be solved and MOT'ing after that.
It was going to be sooo easy... :evil:

Quick update on this -

New battery tray is in, they've sealed all the welds and schutz'd it from underneath as well.
New alternator is fitted - got one from a local boat yard's supplier in the end!
MOT'd with nothing to report.
Phew!
:lol:
