stupid alternator

so i had my alternator go on me last week, never had to fix one myself before so i figured it would be a good time to learn, that and i wasnt about to pay nissan $440+instal to do it. so i went to parts source and picked one up for $270. i cannot believe how difficult that bloody things was to remove and put back in. i had to remove my cold air intake, upper and lower rad hose and the battery. so ya just my little rant and if anybody has ?s about doing it if they have the same problem just feel free to ask. :drinkers:

I had to replace mine, and yet it was a BITCH. After that I didnt tighten the belt properly, so I went through about 3 belts too.
