This video will give you a complete guide to replacing an alternator on the 2.4L engine for the vehicles listed below. The process might be slightly different, but it is the same 2.4L engine on all these vehicles, so this video should give you some helpful tips at a minimum.

If you have any issues getting the belt back on, I used a friend to hold the tensioner and then I wrapped the belt as best I could around the crank and then turned the crank to feed it back on.
If you have any questions, I try to respond quickly to comments.

Got it out, but hard to get bottom alternator bite to slide over mount, was a real bitch to get alternator out with both bolts removed. Why such a tight fit to the mount. Do I have to bang it back in?
