Replace alternator

My car’s alternator stopped charging the battery. The old one appeared to be original - so has at least over 300k km on it. I got the replacement from Canadian tire. And left it on a shelf in my garage for a couple of days. During those days, I’d regularly apply WD40 to all the bolts holding the original alternator in place. Religiously, even. Before I start any project where I have to deal with rusty bolts, I always soak the bolt in WD40. If I don’t, I know I’ll be snapping bolts. A few days into it, I replaced the alternator. Very easy work. And thank you WD40 for making it easier.

The old alternator next to the new one. The old one would not have come off so easily if I didn’t soak it in wd40. Thank you, WD40. - Sajeev
