What have I done now? Help required. 200 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be ScottSC on  Mon Dec 11 09:09 CST 2000 [RELATED]

While trying to remove the oil filter on my 1990 240 I droped the oil filter wrench and the sparks flew. The oil filter wrench made sparks when it connected with both contacts on the back of the alternator.

Yes I should have disconnected the negative battery terminal but I thought... well I didn't think. What damage have I done to this new rebuilt alternator which I just put in three days ago?

I hope that little oil change, I thought I was saving on by doing myself, doesn't cost me another $100.00 for another alternator.
