My car’s alternator is dead. It has been dead for several weeks, but we weren’t able to purchase a new alternator this week. Now the new alternator sits useless in its box, as the old one will not give up its grip on my car’s innards and GTFO. Dan and I did some googling, and after weeding through info on shingle recycling companies, came to the consensus is 1) a bolt was missed and/or 2) the mounting bracket/frame is somewhat warped, and some prying with a screwdriver or crowbar may be required.
I left a voicemail with my mother’s parent mentor’s son’s (I mention the son because he is my neighbor, and it’s through him I found out about his brother) mechanic brother’s cell phone #, as he is the same guy that put in my car’s new alternator belt for very little moolah. Since Dan did all of the work of getting everything out of the way for the alternator swap, hopefully he’d charge even less than he normally would to do the swap. But obviously I’m hoping we can manage to wrest this old one out on our own.
All I know is that we have been relying on just one vehicle for about three weeks now, which theoretically isn’t bad, since Dan is the only one that works outside of the home. But in reality? It sucks. Suddenly taking the kids swimming, meeting up with my mom and brothers, going to doctor’s appointments or taking the kids to
