Do it from underneath , be sure to disconnect battery , 2 bolts, the harness and she's out in 15 minutes.. ... It's easy and clean all contacts before installing new one....also adding a ground strap from the back of the bottom bolt to the chassis is a good idea..

Ya might want to take a look at this link where PQ discusses the alternators and the charging circuit and what to check before you re-install the new alt. ;)

Agreed. The FSM will tell you different :rolleyes: Why? I have no idea. I have replaced two alternators like Roberto said: From the bottom of a car with Air Conditioning.
