2. Open the hood and remove the negative battery cable.

6. Remove the mounting bolts that hold the alternator in place. There are usually two or three bolts.
7. Remove the alternator from the engine.
8. Install the new alternator. To do this, simply reverse the steps that you took to remove the old alternator.

10. Reconnect the wires that you removed.
