Ha! Good luck! I broke down in the middle of Nowhere, Montana ... but did have the good fortune to run into a mechanic who, despite all my fears, was able to do this. Believe it or not, you need to actually drop the engine to accomplish this. But it's not as hard as it sounds. There's really only a couple of bolts on the alternator side. Place a hydraulic jack beneath the engine, remove the bolts, and gently lower the engine ... it should drop three or four inches. I should say you'll have to do all of this via the wheel well of the right front tire ... remove it ... my mechanic actually unhooked some of the suspension too, but in hindsight I don't think he had to do that. This is not an easy job my friend!
