Removing bottom inlet

[Cerrone]

Having problems removing the bottom inlet! Is there a guide anywhere? All the bolts are out but can’t get it to move from the alternator bracket. Any advice? Cheers!

theres a bolt on the left hand side of the engine, and one down through the cambelt cover did you get them one too?

No I’ve just found that one! Is it ok to remove? It looks to be holding the alternator?

Any tips getting it off? And will it affect the alternator belt?

 

[bloke]

jubilee clip around the tensioner, you can just get away with tipping it forwards as it doesn't actually need to move that much.

What do you use to get the bolt out? It’s so tight in there I can’t seem to fit my socket in!

Lift the engine up on the jack I assume you have under it.
You will have to, to get the mount bolts back in anyway.

jack the engine up, can get it with socket or spanner.

It`s perception really.
The engine has remained in the same place on top of the jack.
No longer anchored to engine, the front RH spring has lifted the body shell.
