Broken alternator? Let’s look at the replacement on a Chevrolet Cruze. Lift the bonnet and secure it, locate the battery, and disconnect the terminals.

Undo the securing bolts of the air pipe, using a socket wrench, undo the bolts and disconnect the alternator belt (taking care not to damage the cable winding membranes). Undo all the securing bolts of the alternator.

Once disassembly is complete, extract it from the engine bay. Take the new replacement part and insert it into the appropriate housing, screw in the securing bolts, then tighten the side bolts of the alternator. Reconnect the battery terminals.
