Remove the alternator belt from your 1996 Ford Ranger alternator. Remove the wiring harness from the back of the alternator. Remove the alternator retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new alternator.
- First, you MUST disconnect the negative cable from the battery terminal, otherwise it is highly likely you will shock your self. Next you need to locate the alternator on your Swift (mine, a 1995, was on the top left, down below the carbuerator).
- Disconnect the electrical wires going to the alternator (mine were right next to each other on the inner side, towards the engine, although I have seen them one on top and one on the side). These wires should be recognizable, as one is a plug, normally green in color that should come from the positive battery wire, and the other is the negative which should have a rubber cap over it. Take off the cap and unscrew the holding bolt, which should loosen the wire.
- Once that's done, you need to remove all the bolts holding the alternator to the frame. There should really only be two, the adjustment bolt on the top (used to adjust the tension in the alternator belt) and one on the bottom (you'll have to raise the car to get this one) its either a bolt on oneside (rare) or a bolt that goes all the way through with nuts on both ends (more common). You're view may be obscured by a shielding piece that keeps rocks and other things you run over from flying into or through your alternator. You can easily remove the two screws in the bottom and one at the top to remove the piece. I highly recommend this because models upto 1998 require this for removal.
- Once all that is removed your alternator should be free to move, except for the belt, but slipping that off is pretty self intuitive. Getting it out now is another issue entirely. I've been Wrestling with mine for two and a half hours now and am pretty sure I'm going to have to take it out through the top. This step I leave up to you, the only advice I can offer is that the Hayne's guide I have says 1998 and later goes through the bottom.
- One other thing that should be noted is that some alternator models (the harder ones to get I assume, since mine was the more common type and this wasn't an issue) don't come with the flywheel attached. For the non-engineers or mechanics out there, that's the big wheel on the side that the belt rotates to generate electricity. Make sure that if your replacement doesn't have this wheel to remove it, as you will assuredly be needing it.
- To install simply repeat all the previous steps in reverse.
This is advice, at best, and is not from an expert mechanic, although I have essentially rebuilt my Swift/Metro, a Saturn and a BMW 2002.
To change the alternator on a 1998 Chrysler Concorde, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Then loosen the two bolts that hold the alternator in place. Pull out the alternator and replace.
You can change the alternator, on a 2002 Honda Odyssey, by first removing the alternator belt. Remove the ground and hot wires. Remove the three retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new alternator.
The best answer is to take it to a dealer. They should install a new one for free. There is a recall (WXX81) for 1996 to 1998 Legacys.
Disconnect the battery. Take the alternator belt off. Disconnect the wiring and unbolt the alternator. Reverse the process to reinstall.
