Mazda 6 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda 6 MK 1, GG - Years 2002-2008
Part: Alternator
Operation: Alternator replacement instructions

Before proceeding with the disassembly of the alternator, it is advisable to disconnect the battery poles. The alternator is located at the rear left of the engine compartment (when viewed from the front); to facilitate disassembly, it is advisable to lift the car on a lift, remove the right wheel and the wheel arch in order to reach the pulleys more easily and release the auxiliary belt by loosening the relative tensioner. Then remove the eyelet of the cable connected to the alternator; go to the fixing pins of the alternator itself and remove it from its seat, also disconnecting the socket. Remove the protections to be applied to the new alternator and proceed backwards for installation; consider whether to replace the auxiliary belt as well.
