Punto (Mk2/2b) Changing a Fiat Punto 1.2 8v Mk2 Alternator

It’s not a hard Process to change an Alternator so only a few tools used

• A 3/8th Ratchet
• A 17mm 3/8th Socket or 17mm Spanner
• A 10mm 3/8th Socket or 10mm Spanner
• A 8mm 1/4inch socket - Spanner may be hard to fit in but could be used
• A 13mm 3/8th Socket - Spanner may be hard to fit in but could be used
• A 3/8th to 1/4inch socket adaptor
• A 17mm Spanner
• WD40 May come handy, if the bolts haven’t been cracked off before
• Volt-meter/multi meter if you have 1 - not essential though

If the Belt is suspect to been old / cracking / Dry / Shredding, it must be replaced
now is the chance to-do it

If you don’t have a multi-meter, find a local garage that does a free battery and alternator test
Do a test before and after fitting, and the voltages should still apply mentioned later

So On with it we go!
