Detach the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. If the stereo in your vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft system, ensure you have the correct activation code before disconnecting the battery. Detach the electrical connectors from the alternator. Loosen the alternator adjustment and pivot bolts (First loosen the pivot bolt, then turn out the adjustment bolt using a wrench to release the tension on the drivebelt) and detach the drive belt. Remove the adjustment and pivot bolts from the alternator adjustment bracket. Remove the two bracket-to-water pump bolts and separate the alternator and bracket from the engine. If you are replacing the alternator, take the old alternator with you when purchasing a replacement unit. Make sure that the new/rebuilt unit is identical to the old alternator. Look at the terminals - they should be the same in number, size, and locations as the terminals on the old alternator. Finally, look at the identification markings - they will be stamped in the housing or printed on a tag or plaque affixed to the housing. Make sure that these numbers are the same on both alternators. Many new/rebuilt alternators do not have a pulley installed, so you may have to switch the pulley from the old unit to the new/rebuilt one. When buying an alternator, find out the shop's policy regarding installation of pulleys - some shops will perform this service free of charge. Be sure the ground strap makes a strong and clean connection to the body of the alternator as well as the engine block. Installation is the reverse of removal. After the alternator is installed, adjust the drive belt tension. Check the charging voltage to verify proper operation of the alternator.
