- Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Remove the splash guard on the right side of the vehicle.
- Loosen the alternator belt idler pulley.
- Slip the drive belt off the alternator pulley.
- Remove the four air conditioning compressor mounting bolts.
- Remove the radiator fan and fan shroud.
- Move the air conditioning compressor forward.
- Disconnect the alternator harness connector.
- Remove the alternator mounting bolts, and lower the alternator from the vehicle.
To install:
- Hold the alternator in place and install the mounting bolts.
- Plug in the alternator harness connector.
- Move the air conditioning compressor back into location.
- Install the radiator cooling fan and shroud.
- Install the air conditioning compressor mounting bolts.
- Place the drive belt on the alternator pulley.
- Tighten the drive belt to the proper tension with the idler pulley.
- Install the splash guard.
- Connect the negative battery terminal.
Proper belt tension is important. A belt that is too tight may cause alternator bearing failure; one that is too loose will cause a gradual battery discharge and/or belt slippage, resulting in belt breakage from overheating.
