1995 accord LX
Pretty sure my alternator is dead, got a new battery, started up like a charm, next day the lights are super dim and car doesn't start again.

How hard is it to change the alternator on this car? Is there a DIY guild somewhere for it?

 

it's not hard at all ... took me like 30 min I believe (maybe not even that long). get a manual on your car and just follow the instructions. best $15 I ever spent!

 

Well I took a look at the engine bay, and it doesn't really look to be very accessible. There's something big right ontop of it that looks like it needs to be removed to get the the alternator. come on guild.!

Should be your PS pump. You need to remove it to get easier access to the alternator. First release the 14mm bolt on PS pump and i think a 12mm on the adjuster under the pump. Then get a 10mm and back off the adjuster until you can remove the belt. Unbolt the 14mm completely and then pull off PS. The alternator should be similar to removing the PS pump just has some plugs. Im not sure if those bolt sizes are the same but thats what i got on my 4g Accord.
