How do you remove the alternator from your car? Let’s see how to remove the alternator when it is damaged. Lift the bonnet and secure it, locate the battery and disconnect the terminals.

Raise the car and remove the wheel to access from below. Unscrew the bolts with a socket, being careful not to damage the wiring harness, and unscrew all the alternator securing bolts.
