It's a long story, but through no fault of mine I ended up with two aftermarket reman alternators, both of which died quickly. Details later if anyone wants to know them.
I have just purchased a genuine Honda reman, which I will pick up and install tomorrow morning from a local Acura dealer.
Now, to the meat of the matter...
I am doing this job myself, but have never removed a driveshaft.
I'm hoping someone can give me some tips on removal of my left driveshaft, which is necessary for alternator replacement on the 1991 Acura Integra.
Question 1: The factory shop manual specifies the need to entirely remove the damper fork. Seems to me all I'd need to do is undo the pinch bolt at the bottom of the fork. After popping the balljoint, the driveshaft should drop out the bottom of the fork, no?
Question 2: How do I push the driveshaft splines out of the hub? A rubber mallet? A puller? Driveshaft was last removed from hub five months ago.
Thanks for any help.
