[QUOTE="rbarn, post: 294579, member: 7775"] We have blower. Wrestling with the dreaded back bolt now. [ATTACH=full]200223[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]200224[/ATTACH] Back bolt is not hard to get to, it is freaking impossible to get to. Now I understand why so many have been reported loose. I cant even get my fingers back around there to feel the bolt head. I could not get a piece of paper to fit back there with all the wire looms and intercooler hoses, but somehow have to figure out how to shove a socket and extension back there. Called Whipple to see if there was a trick and their answer was "try harder", lol. And btw you have to literally lie across the engine on your belly while doing all this. .. UGH. It's behind all that. [ATTACH=full]200225[/ATTACH] [COLOR="Yellow"]AGAIN, IF YOU PLAN ON LIGHTS OR A WINCH NOW IS THE TIME TO UPGRADE THE ALTERNATOR.[/COLOR] Taking this blower on and off is going to be a nightmare due to the back bolt. That is a 250amp SDHQ alternator you see installed. [/QUOTE]
