Hi. I need help figuring out how to pull out alternator on my 1996 Deville Concours.
I've removed all bolts and got it loose, but can't pull it out. Do I need to pull out radiator? Is there anything else needs to be pulled out?
I would appreciate any help.
Thank a lot.
Alex.

it comes out the bottom of the car, you also have to take out the front cradle bolts, before you do this you need to disconnect the AC high cut out switch and the blower motor wiring, jack the car up under the door post so the craddle will drop about 4-6 inches in the front, do not take out the cradles back bolts, remove the plactic bottom drip cover and there is a small plate to remove also it has 2 10mm bolts its by the fan relays, use a floor jack to lower the cradle and push it back up, or remove the radiator
