I'm talking about those two suckers that are underneath the Having fairly recently had to deal with the results of someone pulling those 8mm studs out of the case, then installing 10mm Time-Serts and pulling *them* out, I can say with confidence that a torque wrench is your friend when reinstalling (see https://picasaweb.google.com/117189706757545167023/MilleeSAlternatorBracket# - Dennis Haynes gave invaluable advice there ). The 2.1l has a strut on the bracket to stiffen things up some but there's still a lot of mass dangling (upwards) off that little bracket with its even smaller bearing area and two little studs.
