Once all the screws have been removed, it will also be possible to disconnect the connectors and remove the belt from the pulley: once all the fixing screws of the alternator supports have been removed, it will be possible to proceed by removing the component from its seat to insert the new one. This can be properly installed by checking that everything is functioning correctly.
