The drive end shield in an alternator serves as a protective cover for the rotor and other internal components. It supports the bearing that allows the rotor to spin smoothly and maintains alignment within the alternator. Additionally, the drive end shield helps to contain any debris and prevents external contaminants from entering the alternator, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Remove auxillary belt. Steering pump removal first. 3 Allen bolts, hydraulic pipes long enough to move out of the way. Remove 2 bolts at drive end, just loosen 2 bolts at rear as they are a compression fit. Disconnect Battery and wires at alternator. Move alternator to the left and it will come out. Hardest job is removing the heat shield.


How do you replace alternator 1997 Saturn SC2?

Access to the alternator is much easier if you remove the passenger side mud shield. To do that, lift the front of the vehicle, put it on jack stands or some other secure and stable blocking. Remove the passenger side front wheel, then examine the mud shield and find the pins that hold it in place. Carefully remove the pins and work the mud shield out of the fender area. With the mud shield removed you should be able to see the alternator and get to the other components at the head end of the engine. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery! If you work on the alternator with the battery connected, bad things will happen! Release the serpentine belt tensioner. Remove the bolts holding the alternator. Carefully disconnect the electrical connections to the alternator and note which wire goes to which terminal on the alternator. When replacing the alternator, just do everything in reverse order.
