these steps are clearer than mine..lol
Replace alternator on 1992 Honda Civic
Here are the relatively easy steps I took. The alternator is difficult to access, and cannot be removed without removing something--preferrably the easiest thing.
1. Turn the steering all the way to the left (makes things easier)
2. Disconnect the battery ground wire.
3. Jack up the car and remove the front driver's side wheel.
4. Remove the 2 alternator mounting bolts. Access to top bolt from top, bottom bolt from underneath.
5. From top or underneath (both are difficult access), rotate alternator so you can remove all the wiring (one plug, one wire wired to the post, and one retaining clamp on the back).
6. From underneath, move alternator back behind the engine to clear it from the alternator mounting bracket.
7. From underneath, remove alternator mounting bracket. Two 14 mm bolts (need a socket for one of them).
8. From side, in wheel well, unscrew back-most plastic screw holding front inside wheel-well splash guard on.
9. Pull Alternator out just behind the splash guard, flexing it out as you go.
10. Put the new alternator back in through the same hole.
11. Set the alternator aside and put the alternator mounting bracket on--tighten it up because you won't be able to access one of the bolts once you put the alternator on.

Re: HOW DO I REPLACE AN ALTERNATOR ON A 92 EG
I've had luck just removing the wires from above and then pulling the alternator straight out the bottom after rotating it a couple times. On models with power steering I had to push two power steering lines a bit after un-clipping them, but I didn't have to remove anything. With manual steering, the alternator will come straight down even easier, even with a B swap.
The B series alternator isn't very much larger than a D series, the main difference is the top lobe is clocked a bit and offset compared to the D series.
