Mark Ogram Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi All, May seem like a silly question, but is there a knack to removing the wiring plug from the alternator ? It just will not pull off, and I don't want to force it. Thanks for your help. Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Assuming this is a Lucas ACR alternator It should just pull off. Its the spade terminals which grip and since they are large it can be a bit tight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Ogram Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 With a great deal of effort, it came off, thankyou RobH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 After that happens , I normally spray the terminals with WD40 before replacement- for next time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi Mike, something like Servisol switch cleaner would be better than WD40 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Servisol-Super-10-Switch-Cleaner-Lubricant-Contact-Cleaner-Mixing-Desk-Studio-PA/202077401067?epid=1804702344&hash=item2f0cc06feb:g:8ccAAOSwJ4hY9ehG:rk:2:pf:0 Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rod1883 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Halfords do a good contact cleaner, for about £4 and some shops might stock the WD-40 specialist contact cleaner. The Halford own brand cleaner extended the life of our washing machine by a couple of years when the control board started playing up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
