I just did this on my own van. The first thing to do is to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Then remove the serpentine belt. You'll need a 15 mm wrench to do this. I put a peice of exhaust pipe over the wrench for extra leverage. Put the wrench on the tension pulley and pull back to loosen the belt. Slip the belt off of the alternator pulley and let it drop down out of the way. Next, take the top bolt off of the alternator and loosen the bottom one. This will allow you to tlit the alternator back. Then remove the plate that the upper alternator bolt attaches to. This will give you room to get at the nut on the backside of the lower alternator bolt. Remove this bolt and the alternator will be free. Remove the electrical connections and then you are ready to pull the alternator out. It is a very tight fit to pull the alternator out between the support bracket and the fender well but it can be done. Remove the windshield tray drip hose and pull it out of the way. Pull the alternator forward and jockey it around until it comes out. You may have to push in on the support bracket to get it to come out.
To put the new one in , do everything in reverse order. Have fun with the belt!!

∙ 14y ago1st, disconnect the battery. Then remove the 2 bolts that hold it in place. The one on the top of the alternator is accessable from the top and fairly easy to get to. The bottom one is a little tricker.. You have to remove the front wheel. Then there is a plastic access panel that needs removed. After removing that you have access to remove the bottom bolt. Then remove the wires.. there you have it !

∙ 15y agoI changed my alternator on a 1991 capri today. The way I did it was to remove the fuel filter and one of the fuel hoses in front of it and wiggled and squeezed it up between the two heater hoses with the pulley facing up most of the time and sometimes slightly tilting and turning as necessary. THATS NOT YOUR FUEL FILTER ITS YOU AIC MOTOR BUT YA THAT HOW YOU DO IT
