In mine (80's 8V C900's) the alternator isn't a big pain to get out but there are lots of other items in the way (A/C compressor, hoses to/from heater valve inside the car, etc.) and they all need to be moved. >I note that EEurpoarts has a $79 R&R tool for the motor mount. Yikes. Haven't seen that - wonder what it is.. Will take a look now that I'm curious!
