How do you change the alternator in a 1991 Honda CRX?

Answer 1

Take a long extension. Usually two connected together and get the screw you can't find out from the back of the alt. This is only accomplished by taking the passenger tire off and reaching in there with the extension. Then skirt the alt. from the driver side of the car to the passenger side from behind the engine. It helps if you have two people. CIV --- In the 1991 CRX HF the best way is to unbolt the master cylinder. do NOT remove the brake lines! also, unplug the fuel line that is there and move it out of the way. unplug/move the wire harness that is there as well. pull the master cylinder a couple of inches out and a couple inches upward being careful not to move it too much as the brake lines are still attached! the alternator will come through the space that you've now created in front of the master cylinder. i tried the "passenger side of engine" method and don't see how that could work at all. other people say remove the axle. others say through the bottom or through the wheel well. on my 1991 CRX-HF the best way is the master cylinder method.
