Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 200691 ACCORD LX V-6 Alternator questions......???
I have a 1991 Honda Accord LX V6 and my Alternator has went. A friend of mine was gonna change it for me... but after looking into he said he couldn't because he said you need some kind of SPECIAL TOOL? Is this true? And.... could I perhaps get the TOOL he needs to do the job? Thanks DAVID > I have a 1991 Honda Accord LX V6 and my Alternator has went.

Did it die slowly, or when you attempted to boost it? A brush kit is WAY cheaper, and sometimes the alternator is almost impossible to remove. What is the mileage of the vehicle?

I believe '95 was the first year the Accord could be equipped with a V6. > David_nj_7 wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > I believe '95 was the first year the Accord could be equipped with a V6. you would be correct, sir. they had to completely restyle the front end to shoehorn the 6er in there. David, I just repalced my first 1991 Alternator for my son. The special tool I needed was a deep socket 12mm for the bolt on the bottom. If you decide to do this yourself I can qwalk you through it. It takes some time to get it done but will save you mega bucks vs paying to have it done. Billy Hi.... thank You. I am not sure about the V-6 part.... It says 16 Valve.... if that means anything. Thanks D. David_nj_7 wrote: > Hi.... thank You. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > D. That's a 4-cylinder engine, with 4 valves per cylinder. :-) I am going through the same thing on my 88 Accord. Sure like to hear the steps. :) >David, >I just repalced my first 1991 Alternator for my son. The special tool I >needed was a deep socket 12mm for the bolt on the bottom.

A deep socket is not a special tool. ----------- Alex Hello, We're trying to remove the alternator from a 91 honda and can't get it to budge. We've removed the 2 front bolts, that really long side bolt, and those 2 hose things. Is there a bolt we're missing? Does it even come out without removing something else? Thank you Laurie |
