How Do You Replace an Alternator and Verify Its Proper Installation?

Detach the cable from the negative pole of the battery and get rid of the belt. Then, disconnect electrical connections from your alternator and if present, unfasten its housing from engine wiring harness. Undo screws securing alternator in place and remove it. Be sure to choose a new or remanufactured unit that has similar terminals as well as identifying symbols with those used in replacing an old one. If your recently bought generator does not have some pulley you may be required to fit your old one onto it; ascertain from the garage whether they offer this service for free. For re-installation purposes, simply follow reverse procedures to removal stage, then come back and fix drive belt back on before finally test charging voltage to ensure correct alternator functioning.
