Disconnect the negative battery cable.
On models equipped with the 2.3L engine, remove the front charge air cooler, radiator upper seal board and the condenser fan assembly.
Disconnect the electrical connectors from the alternator.
Raise and safely support the vehicle.
Remove the right splash shield.
Remove the drive belt from the alternator pulley.
Remove the A/C compressor mounting bolts and support the compressor aside, leaving the refrigerant lines connected.
Remove the upper and lower alternator mounting bolts and the alternator.
