Good news, bad news...

Ok, ready? What do you want first? Too bad, I'll give you the good news first anyway.

The good news is that it seems like I can get my alternator replaced, under warranty. I called them today and they said that if I bring in the old one, they'll take care of it. I really hope so, too, because I'm pretty sure it was more than $150.

The bad news is that now I have to figure out how to get it out, get it over to the parts store, and put in the new one. Did I mention the store is in Waltham? Plus I don't have any kind of garage where I can work knowing I won't be bothered or where I could work under any weather. My guess is that I couldn't really do this on the side of the street where I currently park. The other thing is that I really don't have time at my luxury to get it all done.

So here's my plan - it's kinda iffy but so far it's my only hope to getting this done. Saturday I will drive over to Waltham and park in the office parking lot. I'll try to get the old one out, then walk it over to the parts store. Then, hopefully the exchange will go straightforward and I can walk back to my car and put the new one in. I'll have to do this all by myself. And if anything goes wrong - the weather's crummy, something breaks while it's coming out or going back in, or someone decides that me doing car repair work in a random office building parking lot isn't cool - I'm pretty stuck. However, short of taking the car to a garage and having them do it for $200-300, it's my only option.
