How to Change the Alternator on a Chevrolet Cruze

Part: Alternator

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.
