instructions for swapping an alternator

Disconnect the battery.
Remove all support piece above radiator, and remove hood latch support in front of radiator.
Remove only the upper coolant hose and bracket to the engine.
remove the brackets that mount A/C lines to the car body opposite the alternator. This will give you flexibility to move the radiator and mounting bolts.
Remove each of the fan housings. This should give you sufficient space to work on the alternator itself and remove it.
loosen the tension pulley, the one toward the firewall, no need to remove it but no big deal. Then loosen the bolt below it to help put the belt back on later.
Remove the alternator, disconnect the electrical and remove the mounting bracket that mounts to the engine. The long bolt on the bottom does not come all the way out but you can still remove the alternator with it wedged in the hole. Remember to put this one in first when you reinstall the new on;
Work the alternator carefully around the front of the engine and remove from the right side.
Installation is the reverse of these instructions.
Replace the lost coolant about a liter.
