Stimmel1647545512 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I am putting a high amp alternator in my mustang sooner or later its sitting on the work bench dirty as F. What is the best way to clean an alternator without damaging the internals? What is the best/easiest way to paint and alternator without messing up the internals? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitamincj Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Take it apart. Brake Clean the casing. Paint the casing. Reassemble. I make is sound easy. My alternator is easy to take apart. I'm not familiar with the 5.0 alt though. CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
