Did my first alt. replacement for a CEGer this weekend. My tip: Get about 4' of extensions yes 48". Remove the driver side splash shield. Run it all the way through to the top alt. bolt. (Won't work on a car w/ headers). On a car with headers for the top bolt I removed the coil pack/plug wires & 2 harness nuts. Moved the harness out of the way. I then used a 13mm socket, 3" extension, u-joint and 18" in extensions to angle it up to the engine area to get a 1/2" rachet on it. For the center bracket I able to get my hands in there and use a 10mm gear wrench. You can also use extensions. Just need to remove the one attached to the bracket. You can remove the entire L bracket when the alt. is out. On the bottom I was able to use 12" of extensions and a 1/2" drive to get that one out. For the 2nd/middle clip on the alt. I used a pick similar to the one pictured
here on the far right. The 10mm bolt/megafuse connection I used a 10mm gear wrench and for the top clipped connection I just used a long flat head and popped it off. I can probably do a swap in about an hour now. Stop making it sound so hard.
