If u need tips on how to change a alternator then u prolly arent capable of doing it.Disconnect negative off of batterey,then unplug harness goin to alternator, then take off the 10mm nut that holds the wire goin to it, then there are only 2 bolts on a alternator loosen them swing the alternator back to take belt off then take the bolts completely out and your done

When I did it on my Ex, the power steering line got in the way. I had to bend it over to get the alternator out.
