S90: Alternator

Fiddling with the wiring harness led me to the alternator and I decided to give removal a try.  The nine left crankcase screws came out easily with the impact driver.  I then used the clutch basket holder to lock everything in place so I could remove the flywheel bolt.

Next I got a chance to use the 14mm flywheel puller for the first time.  Using a good dollop from the new can of Moly-B grease, I used a 16mm wrench to tighten it into place (once again using the clutch basket holder to keep everything locked up).  It worked fine, except I noticed a lot of metal slivers coming off the puller.  Inspecting it, I saw that the threads were getting shaved.  But I went ahead and pulled the alternator out, then unscrewed the stator so I could get a look behind it.
