Hey guys, I'm in the process of replacing my 98 4.0L straight 6's alternator and I'm having a hell of a time getting all the bolts minus the top bolt off. Any suggestions of what I could do to fix this problem? I've seen some things about some stuff called freeze-off to get seized bolts loosened up, but I thought I might ask what you all think.

Thanks in advance

 

Try applying Liquid Wrench Penetrating Oil (Lowe's/Home Depot) to the bolts, and let set for a day, reapply, and try loosening the bolts again.

Kroil is better than Liquid Wrench if you can get it (mail order).

I tried that freeze-off before and it didn't work for me.

 

I'll try that, thanks!

 

So I got the liquid wrench, applied it yesterday and went out this afternoon and that damn bolt still won't budge. I'm about ready to throw in the towel and tow it to the shop to have someone else replace the alternator all because of this damn bolt. Any other tips before I do so?
