2007 alternator replacement
I need to replace my alt. From what I can tell it looks pretty straightforward. 1) Remove top nut holding plastic shield in place. 2)Remove little screw also holding shield (looks like I'll need to jack up the car and pull the splash shield) 3) Remove the 3 bolts holding the alt in place. 4) disconnect the electrical (of course disconnect the batt 1st).
Am I missing anything, any tricks that I need to know about? That little side screw looks a little tricky but I should be able to get it with a ratchet wrench and screw bit. Getting it back in might be a trick due to limited space.

Is it the 6 or 4 cyl?
Never done it on a 4 but the 6 has several more steps. Plan on minimum of 2 hours.
