Problem:

Cracked battery insulator on the alternator caused by over tightening. (Often caused by air impact)

Solution:

It is extremely important that these connections are tightened with a wrench, by hand, and not an impact. The installer must use caution when manually tightening these nuts, not to give that last reef on the wrench.
