It's not hard pal.It's in the front of the engine on the passenger side.. First thing is unhook the battery an you may wanna jack up the passenger side an take off the tire to make it a little bit easier on you to crawl under ... Loosen up the tension-er an take out boltZ.. No swet

A set of pry bars really help to get that top bolt out. I just did the alternator replacement today. It was especially easy as i was replacing the fan blade, radiator, and coolant obviously. Good Times.
