Does anyone know if it's difficult to remove the alternator on this make and model. If so, is there a link for "Do It Yourself"

Please help!!!

 

Anyone! Sorry I'm new on this site. I was hoping for some help. Thanks!

 

No, it's not hard. I did it on my '95 a couple times, and the belt driven accessories on my '99 are laid out about identically - assuming you don't have the 4 cyl it should be very similar.

DISCONNECT THE (-) BATTERY CABLE AT THE BATTERY.
Next loosen (not remove) the bolt in the center of the alternator belt tensioner pulley, then crawl under the truck and find the tensioner adjustment bolt and back the tensioner off the alternator belt enough to remove the belt.

Then you'll have a couple wires to disconnect at the alternator. I'm thinking one large gauge wire with a 8-10mm nut, and a plastic male-type connector with two or three smaller wires.

After that there should just be a couple bolts holding it in place, one short, one long.

 

i've got a '97 monty sport with a 3.0L should be about the same. you can save yourself a lot of effort by taking off the passenger side whell to fully expose the alternator and connections. you just have to take off the rubber covers in the wheel well.

 

that's exactly how i get to mine - 98' Montero Sport

 

Holy thread resurrection batman....look at the dates before bringing up 6 year old threads!

 

Heck,... if the info is still valid, do we really care about When it was written?
Just my $0.02.

 

100% correct. Even if the OP does not need the answer, some other user may learn something and benefit from it.

 

Exactly. I needed help with this exact issue today. Thanks for following up

 

I removed the wheel and rubber well access cover on my 2002 montero sport as well to get to the alternator.
