Thanks for the info on my problem! I checked my Chilton manual for alternator replacement, and it says the right half-shaft must be removed before the alternator can be removed from my V6 engine!! This looks like a lot of work so I'm wondering if anyone has changed an alternator on a V6 without removing the right half-shaft. The stealer says 2.5 hrs labor to change an alternator on a V6, and 1 hr on 4 bangers. I haven't crawled under my car to check clearances yet because its 17 degrees F and I have no garage!
