Alternator Installation Guidelines 1. Disconnect Battery ground cable and note position of all wires connected to Alternator. Identify wires so they can be reconnected to the same terminals. Disconnect wires before removing Alternator. 2. Loosen alternator drive belt(s) and remove from pulley. Remove alternator-mounting bolts and retain for installation. Remove alternator. 3. Clean wire terminals so that bare metal is present for a good connection. 4. Remove fan and pulley from original alternator; inspect them to determine if they can be returned to service. 5. Install fan and pulley on replacement alternator, torque pulley nut to manufacturers spec. 6. Place alternator in proper place and install bolts. If vehicle has a belt tensioner, tighten bolts according to manufactures spec and install belt(s) and tighten to proper belt tension. If the alternator is the belt tensioner install belt(s) and tighten belt(s) by prying against the drive end frame of the alternator (Note: Damage can be done to the alternator if prying is done against the stator, the use of a wood block is recommended to prevent damage to the alternator) torque alternator mounting bolts to manufacturers spec. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN BELT(S)! 7. Connect alternator wires. 8. Perform battery load tests; verify battery(s) are acceptable for service. Charge battery(s) if necessary. 9. Clean battery ground terminal and battery terminal. Clean all other battery terminals and cable terminals. Reconnect battery cables, connecting ground terminal last. 10. Perform operational check of alternator. Note: After installation, periodically check for any loose or corroded terminals or cables. Often times, what appears to be a defective alternator is nothing more than a problem with connections.

But you have to keep in mind that its not just finding the answer from the KB and giving it directly to you, its rephrasing it. This shows the basics of RAG
