How to replace alternator

**_JT** · 07-09-2009, 04:30 PM

I have an EG5 Civic, alternator is very difficult to reach. It's more or less a bit under the intake manifold. What did you guys remove to get your old alternator out and your new one in?

easy two bolts one at top one at bottom disconnect the battery and unplug the connector block and bang its out

No it's not

I had to remove my master brake cilinder to get it out

From what I found I had to take apart just about haf my suspension on one side. Do you have an EG?

Much easier to get to this from under the car. Takes about 15mins to do. LHD or RHD no problems.

I'd rather unscrew 2 bolts from the mbc than having to take apart half my suspension on one side

I can't just get out my alternator without leaving the rest of the car alone.
