Alternator replacement

This is the metal frame above the alternator.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

First, before working on the alternator, disconnect the battery.

Next, the metal frame is actually the mount for the alternator. Here are the directions for replacing it. The attached pictures correlate with these directions.

Can I take the generator out upward?

Hi again:

Yes, once it is unbolted and the upper bracket is off, you can pull it out through the top.

Let me know if you run into trouble.

Take care,

Thanks, this helped so much, I already removed it, no major problem. Now I’m waiting for the replacement to come in (arrives later) but so far so good. Thanks again.

I'm glad it helped. Let me know if you run into any problems or need help.

Take care,
Joe
