Change your alternator ILLUSTRATED!

[Hammervan]

As windsurfvan notes in post #26, some 4WD vans have a different configuration of the power steering rigid line and these instructions do not work. I sat there scratching my head for a while and finally removed the fan shroud (and passenger seat, service panel, etc...) which finally provided enough room to wiggle the alternator out past the fan blades. I really didn't want to open up the P/S lines. Remarkably, I've never had to remove the alternator in the 15 years I've owned this van and this one is still going strong.
