Alternator removal's dead easy Rich!

16mm spanner, two bolts. Yu might need to take the crank balancer off too (3 x 13mm bolts).

Then the belt slides off and the alternator drops off.

Theres two electrical connections - a meaty black earth bolted to it and a push fit connector for the +ve.

they're 17mm bolts. I've played with my alternator enough times to have the 17 milly in arms reach!lol

alternators are easily changed. Took me half hour including a full clean up of the connections. get the good ol' Haynes out!
