Anyone got any tips on how to remove this? I cant get it off!

Its the bolt that goes right the way through! Its like an allen key in centre with 2 raised flat sides next to it!

Would be much appreciated!

Cheers. Wassy x

You need to undo the castlelated nut on the O/S - RHS first buddy. read the haynes it explains what you have to do.

maybe this image maybe able to help how the mount is positioned etc

it really isnt a difficult job, you just need support under the engine, and take the presure of the mount/bolt.

as for the cable to emailed me about, contact rick oliver, or just re crimp the cables after choping the plug off the alternator.
