This was an absolute lifesaver, I knew it didn't have to be as complicated as the other videos. For me I need just a little more room, I loosened the heat shield on the exhaust manifold and removed just the two bolts on the left side of the radiator support near the alternator. I didn't have to remove anything, I just took out the bolts to give me a little bit of wiggle room. Pushing against the radiator with the alternator it felt difficult, but if I manually pulled the radiator back with my hand it was easy to pull out the alternator.

@@soulshinobi heck yeah! When you look at it....it makes sense that you shouldn't have to drain the coolant to replace the alternator. 👍
Yeah the first video I watched was the most elaborate one, and I thought "No, there is no way this is how you have to do it"
This definitely looks like a different way to do it! Thanks!
Dude, I'm so glad I looked at it and thought about it before I dove in. It turned out to be something I could knock out in a lunch hour.
You confirmed my suspicion. Thank you!
You are very welcome!
