    How hot does a alternator get?

    I ask this because I just received it. I want to paint it, but I already have rustoleum black spray paint. Do I need to really put on high temp engine paint? Is this pulley suppose to have 5 little ribs in it? I thought it was a 6 rib?

    Tensioner Belt

    I want to install a new alternator and its a smaller pulley. People are saying you have to make the tensioner loose. I dont really get it. I have located it, but I dont get how it works and its in such a tight space, how would someone loosen it. All I see is 1 nut in the middle of a circle.

    Stripped lug nut bolt

    I think I have a stripped lug nut bolt. I tighted all the other ones, but when I turn this one it still has some torque to it when I turn, but it makes that sound like a screech sound everytime I turn. I dont want to keep turning it so much and then it will just come off and strip. Should I keep...
