Depends on the car. Usually, they are right on the bracket that holds the alternator in place.
You have to loosen the tensioner (located near the alternator) then slip the belt off. Disconnect the neg battery terminal. Remove the bolts attaching the alternator to the tensioner and the bolt attaching the alternator the car. Then detach the electrical connector from the alternator.
take out the three bolts holding it on
In order to remove the alternator on a 1.6 liter four cylinder you will have to remove the a/c line going into the car located on the passenger side. Then you will have the room to remove the alternator from the car. There are 2 bolts holding the alternator in 1 on top and the other on the bottom. This is a fairly easy job should take about 15 - 25 minutes to complete.

Sure, if the bolts come out the alternator can fall out. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ possible but very unlikely if installed correct in the first place
It's two bolts. There is a top alternator bolt and an lower adjustment bolt. Loosen both bolts enough to slip off the alternator belt. Remove the bolts, and then slide the alternator down and under the car through the passengerside wheel well. Installation is the reverse of above.
Very simple, you need a socket wrench and remove the two bolts on the alternator, and the wire connection.
It is best reached from under the passenger side of the car. Start by lifting and safely supporting the passenger front side. Remove neg battery cable from battery. Remove the passenger side wheel and black plastic shields that covers the bottom corner of the engine. Alternator is located just above the ac compressor. Remove the accessory drive belt. Remove the 4 bolts that hold ac compressor in place. Do not disconnect any ac hoses. You can now have access to remove the bolts and wires to the alternator. You may have to remove the cooling fan/shroud assembly to have clearance to remove the alternator from vehicle.
6 or 8 it varies car to car.
The alternator is located on the front left side of the car (facing the car) Above the AC compressor.
What kind of car? On an older car you just loosen the alternator and pull it until the belt is tight and then tighten the bolts back. On newer cars, there is a tensioner that pulls the slack out of the belt.
Inside where you put the coolant in the car you have 2 bolts that hold the housing down replace that gasket if you open, Declan.
