Help ! own a jaguar 1998 xj8 and the alternator bolt is seized up. Removed nut from bottom but can't tell if it's thru bolted or threaded in the front ear. Just won't to verify it's thru bolted before I start to beat on it or try pressing it out with a c clamp. Thanks for any help

 

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to X308 forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Genuine Alternator Mounting For Jaguar Xj 1998 - 2003 (from 812317 To F59525) Classic | Jaguar Land Rover Classic Parts

Looking for a fuse that is required to power the alternator voltage regulator so the alternator can " make "' power

See page 37 point 33 double hash circle

jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepairPhotos/jagxj1998.pdf

This fuse is # 2 / 5 amp engine compartment fuse box on page 34 , this is different then the engine management fuse box under the hood

It can be blown by other systems on the car that share this one fuse , it has happened before

This fuse is only supplied power with the ignition positive relay is closed in the engine compartment fuse box

At point 4 double hash circle on page 31

If you put your finger on the relay do you feel it click closed when you rotate the ignition switch?

There might be a relay swapping option that has the same relay part # , even though the relay can click getting the correct command it can still be bad inside

I will be out the rest of the day running errans so signing out

click on the image twice and then right click drag it around to the area of interest

 

My car died on the interstate and the mechanic replaced the alternator. $600 parts and labor. Bosch Alternator cost $300 at mechanic woulda been $120 on rock auto smh
