First, release the bonnet from the lever and lift it. Disconnect the battery to protect your electronic devices. Now locate the alternator position on your vehicle.

Remove the belt by unscrewing the tensioner pulley to take it off. You can now remove the bolts securing the alternator. Working on the rear of the alternator, disconnect the cables and pipes attached at the back.

This allows you to extract the alternator from your vehicle and carry out the necessary work.
