4 Cylinder, 1.6 liter 1995 MX-3

Can someone tell me some instructions on uninstalling my alternator?
THEN, tell me instructions on how to put the new one back in?

Please help!!

You have to go in and out through the bottom. It's a complete pain in the a--. You may also have to move a drive shaft or exhaust...I can't recall. It's been a long time since I did that on an RS. Go tot he homepage of the foruma nd click on "online manuals". The 95' shop manual will tell you what to do.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.
2007 Mazda3 GT Sport --- super fun
2004 Honda RC51 --- Lost forever to some theavin' bastard
