I have a 77 F250 that sat for 4 years. I am doing some major rework on this thing and the alternator is stuck in it. Any ideas on how to get it out. Thanks.

 

What do you mean my stuck in?

 

Are you saying it is seized and the pulley won't turn ?
or you can't get it off the engine ?

Alternator stuck on the pivot bolt?

 

no, I am trying to say that I can't get it out of the engine. I have tried some channel locks and it would not budge. I don't want to break it off in the motor.

 

Do you mean the distributor?

 

yes, I mean distributor, was not paying attention while typing, thanks for noticing!

 

Soak soak soak in WD-40 ......Rust Buster.


I assume I can change the title now?

 

i had the seam problem with my F350, 460. i tryed to adj the timimg, couldn't turn dist. i tryed a big pair of chanel locks no good i was about get a big hammer and bust the old dist off. i tryed wd40 and sprayed several times. i even run the engine to get warm and gave it one more spray down, and bingo!!

 

yes, you can change the title. I was trying to figure out if I could change it, but I guess I probably can't. Thanks to all. I will try it.

 

I had the same problem. Soaked it for several days with penetrating oil and did a lot of swearing. That did it!
