Jack the car up on the front passenger side. You might have more room if you take off the passenger wheel. Look up and you will see the thing. It looks like this:
after you see that ^^^^ There is a long screw on the top bolt, turn that to loosen the belt, take off belt. unbolt the top bolt and then the bottom one.
I did mine all from the top, I wish I had a garage to work in!! Would make things a whole lot easier!!
Disconnect your battery first!!!
Then go under there with lots of light, and start unbolting everything around the alternator, surely you’ll eventually get the right bolts.
You got it all wrong!!!
First, take off your dash. You will have to make sure that the battery light is disconected, then, take off all your engine mounts. All but 1, and then go to the rear right tire and let out all the air. This will make certion that all the battery juices are in the battery. Then take out the alternator and unplug your spark plugs and spray windex in them. After you have that done, i’ll post up the next steps
Done… but something is wrong now… my uh… interior light stopped working! Maybe i should spray more windex in it too. Hmm. :?
ANYWAYS, got it out, thanks for the help, doods.
Nope, just change the light bulb :idea:
Atleast he didn’t have to get the car nice and hot to heat up the oil pan to take off the lights!! LOL
