How long does it take to remove the alternator from a Mazda Protege?

It should only take an hour or two..the most difficult part is getting the new one into position for rebolting, as it is an extremely tight space with very little wiggle room. Same for the lower connector bolt which is reinstalled using very short strokes. Otherwise it's a very straightforward process for any home mechanic. If i did it, anyone can.

Remove the alternator mounting bracket10. Remove the electrical connection on the alternator.11. The studs that are spot welded on the half shaft bracket will try to keep you from being able to remove the alternator. Put the nuts back on the studs until they are flush with the end. This will protect the threads while you take a straight bar long enough to get past the strut and knock out both studs from the bracket. They are only spot welded on the bracket.The alternator now has enough room by rotating and dropping down to remove through the opening.When re-installing the studs put lock washers on the back side and an O-ring on the front of them all the way up to the bracket so they will stay in place while you line up the axle bracket and get the nuts started.You are on your way to Getting 'ER Done".. !
