How to replace your alternator

Registered
1>Remove the engine cover.
2>Used a socket wrench to crank on the belt tensioner and removed the belt from the Alternator.
3>Removed the air filter rings so there was more room to move the filter and intake parts around so I could continue.
4>Removed the 4 screws holding the brace over the alternator.
5>Removed the two bolts from the bottom front of the alternator.
6>Pulled alternator free from engine compartment.

I did the same in reverse order to install the new one and it's working fine. Though if I shoot another alternator I'm going to get a good one, not one of these NAPA things... not that there's anything wrong with them :)
I didn't even think to take pictures of the procedure, but it's pretty simple so you should be able to follow the steps and do it.
