Subject:      Re: Broken alternator bracket studs

If you remove/loosen up some perferal appendages around the engine
compartment,and remove the 4 bolts that hold the engine carrier to the
frame,can you drop the engine/trans assembely a few inches to get clearence
to use a drill? May have to take the exhaust off at the j pipe to the tail
pipe in one section. Just wondering, as I thought of doing this to replace
a main seal without removing the engine.Could stick in a new oil pump at
the same time, I think.Good luck.Sorry to hear about the bracket snafu.It
seems marginal in stregnth to begin with.
