Disconnect negative battery cable first. Locate alternator. locate belt tensioner. Use rachet to retract belt tensioner so belt can be removed off alternator. Remove alternator mounting bolts. disconnect positive cable and field wires from alternator. Remove alternator. Reverse to install.

Removal of negative battery cable first prevents a short should the wrench touch metal or car ground. Some mechanics just remove the positive cable but risk a dead short shoud the wrench touch vehicle ground.
