Alternator Fitment Help

[mcg]

Will a 1HZ (27060-17220) alternator fit onto a 1FZFE? I ordered the replacement alt and tried changing it out this weekend while I was doing the water pump and thermostat but no matter how much I tried it would not fit into the pivot bolt mounting area. It's part number is 27060-17220.

I actually ordered from Cruiser Parts but the pivot mount seems to be slightly too wide to properly fit the 1FZ mounting spot

Something like a millimeter too wide, yeah?

I’m probably stating the obvious but the alternator pivot point can be opened up. One side has a collar that is friction fit into place. You can get a pry bar in there and open the gap up enough to squeeze the new alternator in.

tundra does not fit easily, I tried.

Yeah I would say right around a millimeter too large, almost not noticeable, but trying to shove it in at the weird angle it is when fitting it definitely is hard to get the leverage, I will try with a pry bar and if not maybe look at just an aftermarket option.

Did you end up fitting it or go with a different option?

I bolted in a jaguar alternator, with delta pulley and gates 1400 belts.

I actually tried the tundra alt... maybe not the 1fz..

Rig up a bolt, nut, washer affair and you can push the spacer out enough to install the alternator. When you bolt in the alternator the spacer will be pushed back in.

Awesome, thanks for adding photos too, I'll give that method a try

A little heat around the pinch washer will do wonders if it’s hard to reset. Penetrant soak for a spell then heat it up, It’ll reset.
