Disconnect the battery cables, then take a 15mm deep socket and ratchet and push the belt tensioner pulley to take the belt off the tensioner pulley. walk around to the altenator side and take the loose belt from the alt. pulley and pay attention to the belt routing.

Then take the positive cable off the backof the altenator with a 10mm wrench. Unplug the wiring harness connector also from the rear of the altenator.

Once all the wiring has been removed, take a 15mm wrench and remove both bolts holding the altenator to the altenator bracket then remove the altenator!

You are done.
