Remove the plastic cover on the engine, relieve the tension on the tensioner pulley with a wrench remove the belt, remove the negative battery cable, remove the plugs and wire from alternator, remove the two bolts at the bottom of the alternator...to get more leverage on the tensioner I use two wrenches put together...put battery cable on after all connections to new alternator are made...
