[niteride99se]

I thought I had some simple time saving instructions for the alternator repalacement on my 2000 CSVT, but I cannot seeme to find them.

A related question is how to remove the serpentime belt. Do you need to remove the tensioner to get teh belt on and off??? How is that done please??? Thanks, Stephen

Best Tip: Get the top alternator bolt from the top, take off the UIM and remove the nuts holding the wiring harness running behind the engine near the firewall, move the wiring harness aside and you'll easily be able to access that top bolt which is a PIA to access from beneath the car
