I see no pics????
If you removed the two bolts already, then it's a matter of sliding off the old alternator and putting the new one in. Make sure you tighten the belt pretty good once the alternator swap is complete.-------------------------

Are you sure you tightened it enough?
I usually put a crow bar inbetween then alt and engine mount and adjust the tension.
Or like others said it may be to tight.
I hope you checked the other belt alsoComment

You know your car can start if the altenator is not working, right. Only thing the battery will croak quicker.Originally posted by skr33t_rac3r
There is a way to check to see if your altenator is charging correctly. I didn't read it in the FSM, but I know it is in the manual. You can also take the car to autozone and they can use a machine to test it.Comment
