2008 S550 4-Matic (W221 AWD) Alternator Replacement

Replacing the alternator on a 2008 S550 4-Matic (W221 AWD)

[@cokeboss973]

I replaced my alternator and the car loses power. Doesn’t keep charged

Kako si ga izvadio? Ili ti je ispao sam?

I'm translating the question for this guy: He's asking how you physically got it out. Once the alternator is unbolted does it just drop out, or do you have to twist it for removal?

Removing the alternator after the bolts were removed was very difficult. I pulled it from underneath.
