Hit another snag. I am trying to remove the left front timing cover on my N62. I have all of the bolts out except for the one blocked by the alternator. I've read that one must remove the top bolt and loosen the bottom bolt to rotate the alternator out of the way slightly. I've done this but am only getting a little bit of clearance. It looks like the alternator is hitting some piping down below and these pipes are tightly in place with no movement in them.
Anyone have any tips? I am scratching my head.....
