there should be two major bolts to the alternator one to losse'n up the belts and the other to release the alternator to the mount. loosen the belts first and then remove the belts.. after this it should be easy to replace the alternator
This is a very straightforward operation, same as any other car. Disconnect battery, remove shrouding, unbolt the alternator, bot new alternator on, tighten belts, and reconnect the battery. The alternator is easily accessible.
Loosen the belts, unbolt the old alternator, bolt the new one on, tighten the belts back up.

BeltsYes, you must remove all of the belts to replace the alternator belt. The compressor belt first, then the power steering belt then the alternator belt.
the car has the original alternator in it, the brackets for the new alternator (the ford one) are uneven and wont fit the belts on them, i was wondering if i can take the brackets from the old alternator and replace them on the for so the belts will fit answer quickly thanks!
Loosen the tension on the belts, unbolt the old one, bolt in the new one, and retighten the belts.
# Notice which pulleys the alternator belt rides on. # Remove the alternator's adjustment bolt. # Remove the alternator's pivot bolt. # Remove the alternator. # Before you can put on the new belt, you probably will have to remove someother belts which means loosening other adjustment and pivot bolts. # Place the new alternator belt on the pulleys you took note of earlier. # Put the alternator back on. # Making sure to tighten all the bolts you loosened earlier. All belts should only deflect 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Longer belts deflect more than shorter belts.
If you have more than one belt you only have to take off the one you need to replace, or to get to it .
