How To Change An Alternator

Replace and Tighten all Bolts

Once you have gotten the alternator and belt in good position - there should no longer be any slack at all in the belt - you’re ready to re-insert the rest of the bolts that hold the alternator in place. These bolts should all be tightened snugly, but not so tight that you run the risk of stripping them out when you try to remove them in the future. Double-check that there is no slack in the belt by rotating the alternator.
