Alternator bracket removal?
Removing the alternator bracket? Is this a big job? If not, procedure please. Reason you wonder? I want to sand it down and buff it out. It's really a rough cast, looks like crap. Thanks

It's easy to remove with the power steering pump removed.
But the ps pump doesn't come off until you remove the pulley.
A nice upgrade is the LS2 power steering pulley which is spoked steel. Easy access to the ps pump bolts

Lots of guys have changed over to the metal LS2 pulley. It's a plug-n-play and it's for cheap money too. A no-brainer for sure.

Yes its a big (read PITA) job. I Just removed mine to do a flip drive and it was a PAIN!!
You don't have to remove the PS pump (or pulley), but it takes a lot of patient with a couple of the bolts that can only be turned a 1/4" at a time. If you leave the pump on the bracket, you have to unhook two line/hoses to remove everything from the car.
