SOURCE: Alternator and belt tension
I removed the alternator for my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I started by removing the belt, by placing a 1/2" ratchet in the groove on the belt tension pulley. Once the belt was removed I removed the two bolts holding the alternator in place and the wiring. The alternator bracket held the alternator tightly, it took a little persuasion with a heavy hammer and a piece of wood. The wood protected the alternator from damage. I also, had to remove the battery box and top radiator hose to get enough room to hammer the alternator out of the bracket. Putting the new one in also, took lite taps with a hammer to place it in the bracket.

If you have the V8 engine, the filter is actually part of the fuel pump. WHICH IS IN THE TANK

These rear hatches have a cheesy rod and clip setup. You have to remove the panel from inside, you have to loosen the screws around the hatch and pull it away and reach in down toward the latch and open it that way so you can get the 2 screws out of the bottom easier. There is a peice of plastic in these that's a dust barrier, try not to tear it up too badly, and when you go to put it back, I use a spray adhesive to stick it back on while I put the panel back on. after you get it open you will see a rod with what looks like threads hanging there attached to nothing, and a little thing that has 2 notched areas and a clip to hold that rod into those 2 notches. bend the clip down to make it tighter and then force the rod back into place that should fix your problems. If that's all in place then it's the latch mechanism, usually they can't be fixed because parts aren't available, just have to buy a new one and put it in.
Testimonial: "Thanks very much, I'll give it a try. It's a bugger getting the inside panel off, I tried a few times unsucessfully."
