Sorry to post this here, but many of you own 911,s also.
So my 1984 is charging at 12 Vdc. How hard is it to remove the alternator whole motor is in the car, 3.2 Is the regulator part of the alternator? Do I need special tools to get it out? I will bring it to my favorite place and have them rebuild it. Rich |

Yes it has an internal regulator and can be changed without removing the engine. I did the one on my 1983 Targa years back in a shopping center parking lot with the factory tool kit. It probably is a Paris-Rhone alternator if it is the original which is pricey but there is an identical aftermarket replacement at half the price.
You have to unbolt the strap, remove the small bolts that attach the fan housing to the engine shroud, pull the fan and housing out as a unit far enough to unbolt the wires to the alternator and take out the whole lot. Carefully pop off the fan, unbolt the alternator from the housing. As the manual says, installation is simply the reverse of the removal! Charlie |
