I have looked EVERYWHERE on how to do this myself. I have the part and a friend who says he can help me, its just the alternator is in a very unpleasant location. How should I go about removing/replacing it, everything I have found has said go under the car or the wheel well. I love this site!

Hello,

On some models it may be necessary to remove from bottom. Before disconnecting battery get radio anti theft codes and record radio presets. see pics for instructions.

You will need to raise the car up safely
