Alternator covers?

[KBCobra95]

In another thread I asked wether to polish a few things or not...well, I decided I am going to powder coat like a few suggested. So instead on buying a new $400 chrome alternator, I am going to take the housings off and have them powder coated. The problem is I have the front cover off but the back will not come off. It wiggles as if there is a bolt holding it one but I have taken all the bolts out. How do I get the back cover off? Is there some sorta magnet or something? Please save me $400+. Thanks.

when i took mine apart to polish it was a pain to remove the front half the back was easy lol

did you remove the regulator on the back too?

if i remember correctly theres bolts that hold the case together, a few holding in the regulator, and then the nut on the pulley. should come off after some prying.

Yes i removed everything! Guess I will just have to start prying like you said.

$400 for a chrome alt? Where are you shopping? Did you check out www.4alterstart.com?

It was a power master. Don't know if that makes any difference?
