We have found over the years that getting a wrench on the nut of the alternator can be a pain. There always seems to be oil cooler hoses and or wiring harnesses in the way. Nissan made a version of this nut for the 2wd blocks but it is discontinued and did not fit the 4wd block.
We have made our own version that will clear the 4wd block. We are offering them in both 10x1.25 and 10x1.50 thread pitch.
