1991 Cherokee Laredo 4.0 4x4 - My alternator broke/seized up. I am trying to replace it, but the top bolt will not slide out... Is there a reason this bolt is stuck? and how would I go about trying to get the bolt loose? Any opinions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

my '91 trail beater has the same problem with stuck bolts that are hard to reach....its been sitting in the hard for a month cuz i'm at school now.....remeber to anti-seize the **** out of those bolts when you put it back together

try to use a wrench to spin it, if it wont then its rusted in and you need to cut it off.

It's spinning, just not going anywhere and I don't think it's rusted. There's no room to try and bang it out either.

and also, do I need to remove the fan or can I replace it without taking the fan off?

*UPDATE* got that top bolt out. whats the best option, taking the fan off or taking the bracket off??

Why is this thread in the "Jeep Builds" section?

Because nobody reported it for us to find fast and easy... Moved to OEM tech...
