When replacing the alternator, bring the old unit to ensure the new or rebuilt one matches in appearance, terminal configuration, and identification numbers. Many new or rebuilt alternators may not come with a pulley, so check the shop's policy on transferring pulleys from the old unit. For four-cylinder engines, start by disconnecting the negative battery cable, then for models from 1995 to 1997 with 2.4L engines equipped with anti-lock brakes, disconnect the electrical connector and remove the two lower plate mounting bolts for the Controller Anti-lock Brakes. Next, remove the engine coolant reservoir, disconnect the electrical connector and B+ cable from the alternator, loosen the drivebelt adjustment bolts and nut, and detach the drivebelt. Remove the pivot bolt and spacer, support the alternator while removing the T-bolt, adjustment nut, and bolt, then maneuver the alternator out of the engine compartment, taking care with air conditioning lines if applicable. Installation follows the reverse order, adjusting the drivebelt tension afterward and checking the charging voltage for proper operation. For V6 engines, the process begins similarly with the negative battery cable disconnection, followed by disconnecting the electrical connector and B+ cable from the alternator, removing the drivebelt, and loosening the upper and lower mounting bolts. After removing the lower mounting bolt and spacer, support the alternator while removing the bolts securing the upper bracket to the cylinder head, then remove the bracket and the alternator. The installation is again the reverse of removal, with adjustments to the drivebelt tension and a check of the charging voltage to ensure proper functionality.

Loosen the alternator adjustment and mounting bolts and detach the drivebelt.
