I am quite interesting in car recently, no matter it is from exterior to interior or from its accessories to maintainance. I have a friend who work as a mechanic told me some DIY car maintainance, which I can save a few dollars from sending to a car shop. I went to visit my friend today at his workshop. He was removing the car alternator while I visited him. Let me share with you how to remove alternator ourselves to save some labor costs : -
1.Turn off the car engine and wait for 20minutes for it to cool down. And disconnect the negative cable of the battery.( If you do not disconnect the negative battery cable, you may damage the vehicle electronics.)
2. Find the serpentine automatic belt tensioner by referring to the car's pulley and belt configuration diagram (if you don’t know) , turn the automatic belt tensioner by using a socket wrench, then slip the belt off the alternator pulley.
3.Lastly, disconnect all the mounting bolts and wires attached to the alternator, then remove the alternator from the car.
