This is a fairly easy process, and will take 2 hours maximum if you're a beginner or inexperienced. A more experienced wrench shouldn't take more than an hour from start to finish.

If you haven't done your accessory belt and tensioner, now is good time to do it! You have to remove the belt from around the alternator, and remove the belt tensioner anyway. In this video I cover the removal since you have to, but I do have a dedicated video for the accessory belt and tensioner install.

If you have any questions feel free to leave them on my You Tube channel!
