you have to remove the water pump pulley bolts first..then remove water pump pulley out of the way. now you can remove the water pump bolts and replace water pump and gasket

Hi,

I don't have a pic from the manual. However, this is a straightforward design. The alternator should have two mounting points. One mount is wider than the other. The wider side will mount at approx 11 o'clock to the upper mount, and the smaller will be approx 5 o'clock. Also, the alternator should be in front of the power steering pump.

Please understand, this is from memory, but I did find a similar design online. See pics 1 and 2 below. Let me know if that is what you have. If it isn't, take a few pictures of what you have as well as the engine, and upload them for me to see.

Take care,

joe
