Best Answer

Detach the negative terminal from your battery, detach the wires from the alternator, detach the drivebelt by loosening the pivot bolts and the adjusting screw for the alternator and then slipping it off. fully loosen the bolts and the others that are holding the alternator to the engine, they are fairly easy to find and then go to buy a new one. Wherever you go to purchase a new one BRING YOUR OLD ALTERNATOR WITH YOU. You will need to visually compare them to make certain they are EXACTLY THE SAME. the parts number should be printed on a label on your alternator, make CERTAIn that it is THE SAME as the number on your new alternator.
