As your vehicle is a RRS, the task is not the same.

A brother got to a point removing his MY08 TDV8's alternator where he could go no further until the WSM procedure was retrieved from Topix where it showed a seemingly unrelated bolt that had to be removed, after which he could move a pipe sideways enough to access the particular alternator bolt.

Here's the applicable section from the WSM.

Hi Graeme,
I was just off to look at Topix to make sure I had everything covered, this has been very useful.

Hi,
My Alternator has also packed in! Where are people buying hoers from and how much?

Thanks,
Chilly

Hi Chilly,
Best price I could get was genuine Denso new from TRS in Adelaide, cheaper delieverd to Perth than anywhere in WA for me. Can't remember exactly how much $800 ish seems to ring a bell plus delivery. They also do a second-hand one cheaper obvioulsy however I'm looking long term ownership and reliability.

Cheers Marty

Thanks for replying Marty. I have purchased from UK. Much cheaper and delivered within a week to ten days.
Thanks
