'01 X5 4.4i DIY Alternator replacement advice
As per threads I've read on this forum, I need to replace my alternator and belt. Also want to replace ac belt. Quoted $1500 at dealer...which will be closer to 2k when completed I'm sure. Don't know why so much, rebuilds after core are less than $400. Dealer told me alt alone is $980.
Please post DIY pics procedure etc. or point me to a link. I've done some research, removed top air scoop, lower splash pan, at first I thought I just needed to replace belt. I can't see the belt replacement being done without removing the fan, I read somewhere on this forum it was possible without removing fan. Do I actually need a special wrench(s) to remove fan? Or can I make my own? If I can please advise. As I'm pretty sure I'll need fan and shroud out of the way for alt/belt replacement.
Anyone know of a good indie in Las Vegas?
Thank you so much.
