Hello, there!
Just replaced both alternators and the port side presentation suggested some hardware replacement. First was the pulley - it was seized pretty well, but I was able to pop it off. Now I find the bearing seized on the pinion stud and I cannot get it off for the life of me. It's stuck on the bracket and I have the replacements ready to go.
I've tried vice grips, WD, heat, hammering the bolt, a knockout tool on bolt sides. It even bared my multi-tool, and bested the HCS blade I had handy.
Any advice? Thanks in advance. My port is ready to get out on the water, and so am I!
