Installation guide - Replacing a starter or alternator
General guidance for this part type - always follow your device manual- Socket set and wrenches
- Serpentine belt tool for alternators
- This is an advanced job: follow your vehicle's service manual, or have a qualified mechanic fit it.
- 1Disconnect the battery. Engine off. Remove the battery negative (-) terminal first; the starter and alternator carry a heavy cable that is always live.
- 2Free the unit. Alternators: photograph the belt routing, release the tensioner and slip the belt off. Unplug the connectors and undo the main cable nut.
- 3Remove the old unit. Undo the mounting bolts and lift it out, noting any spacers or brackets.
- 4Fit the new unit. Bolt it in with the same spacers, reconnect the main cable and connectors and route the belt exactly as in your photo.
- 5Reconnect and test. Reconnect the battery, start the engine and check the battery warning light goes out.
This is general guidance for the part type, not a model-specific procedure. If the part does not fit without force, stop and recheck compatibility.
