Trying to replace the coolant reservoir. The problem is the pulley on the alternator is in the way of the reservoir going down into its spot. Is there a way of installing the reservoir without having to take the alternator out?

Hello,

Take a look at the coolant reservoir replacement for the Impala (attached below). You should not have to remove the alternator to remove the reservoir.

Let me know what you are experiencing, as this should come out after remove the mounting bolts.

Thank you.
