Hi,

I attached the directions and pictures from my manual (see below). They are helpful, but I feel somewhat vague. Take a look at them and let me know if you have questions.

Also, here is a link that explains how it is generally done:

Make sure the battery negative cable is disconnected before you start working on the alternator. There is a power supply to it that is straight from the battery.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
