Upper Mounting Bolt on Alternator Problem
I'm replacing my alternator. Everything was going smoothly until I reached this hitch: The upper mounting bolt was completely missing from when I removed it. So, obviously I went to the stealership and got a new one.
Here's my main problem now: there isn't enough clearance to get the bolt to insert, as seen in attached picture.
Anyone have an ideas? I thought about lifting the engine, but I've never done that and wouldn't know where to look.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Unbolt the mount, raise the engine.

Re: Upper Mounting Bolt on Alternator Problem
Take off the bracket, place a jack under the oil pan ,play up and down. Another useful thing you can do : Sharpen the end of the bolt a little like a pencil it helps a lot getting it to the tread in case the alternator bolt canal is not straight
