How do you remove an alternator from a VW Caravelle?

loosen bottom bolt on the alternator unit and push the alternator towards the engine block until you can remove the belt from the pulley on the alternator. Leave in the bottom bolt until you have removed the top bolt as it may need some levering with a small pry bar to pull the top of the alternator away, when the top is free remove the bottom bolt while holding the alternator so it wont fall, and remove the tension spring. This should only take about 20 to 30 mins!
