The book fails to mention that part. It's a PITA job, no easy way. -- Steve Walker Fusion640(a)verizonwallet.com (remove wallet to reply)

They're giving $200 for scrap cars... Here is the procedure that someone sent me years ago, when I was going to do it. I am not sure why they called it a "generator" instead of an "alternator." (1) Disconnect battery negative cable. (2) Remove generator drive belt, (3) Loosen, but do not remove the nut on the support bracket at exhaust manifold. (4) Remove the generator tensioner power steering bracket bolt. (5) Remove the tensioner stud nut and the tensioner. (6) Remove the generator mounting bolts. (7) Remove and position the power steering reservoir from the generator mounting bracket. Do not remove the hoses from the reservoir. (8) Remove the three generator support bracket bolts. (9) Remove intake plenum-to-generator mounting bracket bolt. (10) Remove generator support bracket. (11) Position generator and remove generator wiring. (12) Remove generator. KM |
