Best Answer

Looking into the engine compartment from the passenger side you you will see two large bolts and a smaller bolt on the alternator. The large upper bolt is the pivot bolt, the lower bolt is the locking bolt. The third bolt is used to adjust belt tension.

1. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.

2. Loosen the alternator locking bolt. You may need a breaker bar to free the bolt.

3. Loosen the pivot bolt.

4. Turn the tension bolt counter clockwise to release belt tension and remove the belt.

5. Remove the electrical connector and grounding wire from the alternator. If I recall correctly this can be bit difficult. You either squeeze the connector or release a locking tab. I cannot remember exactly.

6. Remove the alternator. Be careful not to hit the radiator since you easily bend the radiator colling fins.

7. Re install by reversing the steps.
