I've been tinkering with my alternator too!
Put a bigger ring terminal on as the new alternator I fit has a bigger post!

Aw lol. Well it was a ####ing nightmare but I think I just wasn't doin it right, I'd never done it before but got there in the end. I just did the old two man method, with someone inside pressing the clutch. If I'd had some tubing and an oil can I'd have reverse bled it as that looks so much easier
