the alternator on this car looks to be in a pretty tough to get to spot. im sure i can do it eventually but are there any tips or tidbits or any valuable knowledge abou fixing this

 

i was able to get it out of my old crx without taking anything else out of the engine bay so.... you should be able to on an eg/ek no problem

 

There's literally tons of room in there to replace the alternator, with an EG.

Get under the car and get busy. On anything with no power steering/ac, it shouldn't take much more than 30 min.

30 mins with a basic set of tools.

fastest i've ever done was 10 minutes from the time the car started being lifted to back on the ground, with a buddy helping me. this was at the racetrack

 

Not to difficult to do W/the correct tools

 

A 10, 12 and 14mm socket IIRC.

get under the car and it should be easy !

 

on my buddys ek i had to take out the d/s axle, and the oil filter for a little clearance.. ive never done one on an EG but then again you didnt state which one you had.. GL

 

I just did it and it wasn't to bad, a little tight, but not to bad. It took me about 45 minutes and I've never done an alt change on a Honda.
