To replace the alternator in a 1980 Datsun pickup, first disconnect the negative battery cable to ensure safety. Remove the drive belt by loosening the tensioner, then detach the electrical connections from the alternator. Unbolt the alternator from its bracket and remove it. Install the new alternator by reversing the process: secure it to the bracket, reconnect the electrical connections, and reattach the drive belt before reconnecting the battery.
