quick altenator question

[AJules]

ok, today I finally have the time to do it

but one more question (sorry if it seems stupid)

the haynes manual says I should disconnect the wire from the negative battery terminal before I do anything

how do i do this?

[AJules]

nevermind, figured it out

(wow i feel like an idiot)

[AJules]

and finally done with it, thanks everyone

was pretty easy, just wish they'd make all their bolts the same size, using a different screwdriver for each one got pretty annoying

Well, if you're using a screwdriver on bolts, that's your problem.

Keep an eye on it, I replaced mine and it was a bad one, I had to replace it again.

First time, 1.5 hours (didn't understand how the tensioner worked )
Second time 30 mintues including new belt

I will, it actually was rebuilt, but I got the lifetime warranty with it so if anything goes wrong I should be good for another one.

yeah, it's a pretty easy job, I just had some trouble getting the belt back on.
