I just replaced the alternator on my Dynasty... hopefully I can be of some help. First of all, disconnect one of the battery connections. Next, you will need to take off the serpentine belt. To do that, I put a box wrench on the bolt that is on the center of the tensioner pulley and push the end of the wrench with a long 1 X 4 piece of wood...The area around that bolt is very crowded so you will need something thin to fit in. Anyways, the idea is to push back on the wrench so it removes tension off of the belt. Keep it pushed back until you (or someone else) can slip the belt off of a pulley. I usually don't take the serpentine belt off of every pulley ... I just want slack so I can get the alternator off. It's easier to put back on if you can leave the belt mostly in place. Next, remove the wiring connections/harness from the alternator. Move the harness off to the side where it is out of the way. There are two bolts that hold the alternator in place. The top one is easy to remove... the bottom one is trickier. It is a tight spot to get the nut off the front but I had trouble getting the bolt out. On my Dynasty, I had to remove a bracket (engine mount bracket?) before I was able to slide the bolt all the way out... the head of the bolt kept hitting this bracket. Anyways, there are two nuts that hold the bracket in place... take those off to remove the bracket. With the alternator in place, you probably wont be able to see the nut under it... just feel around and remove it with your socket wrench. With the two bolts out you can now remove the old alternator. It's a very tight fit but it can be lifted out of there... you almost need a shoehorn. Ha! Pop the new alternator in, replace bracket, put on wiring connections, put belt back on and then hook up battery. Presto! I hope this info helped. Regards, Gary in Princeton, MN
