What is the easiest way to change the alternator?

Hello,

Replacing the alternator can be done using simple hand tools in about an hour for your vehicle.
First of all you will have to remove the drive belt, before you can remove the alternator.

Always remember to disconnect the negative battery terminal before getting started.
