Robert Grindle on PPBB asked for help, thought I would ask for your help on this problem:

"Removing this bolt to replace roller or bearing. Cannot get it out far enough to remove without hitting the sheet metal. Any tricks or do I need to loosen the alternator? Looking through the archives I saw a post on replacing just the bearing and not the entire roller but no source. Doubt if the dealer has just the bearing. Thanks. "

His photo shows the problem quite well.

The Porsche manual only describes removing the alternator/generator along with this roller.

Has anyone found an alternative method to remove the long 145MM bolt?

A suggestion was offered: lift the engine 0.25" to clear the bolt -- what do you think of this idea?

Thanks,

Ed

That manuals a dandy...
