- 1). Disconnect the negative battery terminal to kill power to the vehicle and then reach down through the engine compartment to remove the drive belt from the pulley on the front part of the alternator. The drive belt tensioner is spring loaded and can just be lifted up to free the drive belt.
- 2). Use the car jack to raise the vehicle so that you have complete access to the passenger side wheel. Remove the wheel by loosening and removing the lug nuts with the lug nut wrench. Use the screwdrivers to remove the screws along the lip of the fender well splash guard and then remove the splash guard itself.
- 3). Disconnect the tie rod spindle with the ball joint tool and then use the ratchet set to disconnect the exhaust Y pipe coming down from the engine.
- 4). Unplug the wiring connectors and remove the cables from the alternator. Use the ratchet set to remove the alternator brace from the side of the vehicle and then remove the passenger side half shaft (pull straight out) from the engine.
- 5). Unscrew the alternator mounting bolts and slide the alternator out of the engine compartment.
