I have a bad alternator does anyone have a diagram on how to remove it or can I get step by step instructions?How to change the alternator on a %26039;96 Nissan Maxima?
the alternator is usually held on by a couple of bolts. All cars are different, so all I can give is a general idea of the steps involved. To get detailed instructions, you need the service manual.
The first thing you should do is disconnect the battery
Then, follow the instructions for loosening and removing the belt from the alternator.
Unplug or unscrew all connections to the alternator
Remove bolts securing the alternator to the motor.
Remove the alternator and replace following the instructions in reverse.
Looking at pictures of the motor, it looks like the easiest way to get to the alternator is from under the car. It looks to be on the passenger side near the front of the car
