first disconnect ur battery.
this is ur altinator. ok first u see where the hole ontop is there should be a nut there connected to a adjuster loosen the nut and then adjust the adjuster until ur belt is able to come off. u can take that nut off completely. now there is a bolt on the bottom take that out.
and remove the wire and disconnect the plug.
and then pull out the altinator.
Alternators are a bitch lets just say 1/3 of the work is getting it out 2/3 is tightening the ground when re-installed. Replaced two in the last few weeks. If you need a hand let me know via pm. On here daily.
It all starts with the adjustment bolt on the front sort of self explanatory afterwards.
working on a car in the winter is a bitch, so try having a heater near u. ive done alot of work out in the cold. i did the water pump on my moms old van on my drive way on a cold day during the winter, make sure u dont freeze ur ass off doing it outside, then u just end up taking longer.
if you dont have a heater, keep moving around…it works for me, my hand and feet usually get cold in mere minutes, but if i keep myself active, the effect is slowed down.
