Scott,
Try to have a load test performed on the complete charging system (IN CAR) before attempting to remove the alternator.

I just read the procedure in the Haynes repair manual for your van and it is not as simple as 1,2,3.

There is too much to type here to give you instructions. If you can, find the Haynes repair manual (#38036) at almost any automotive supply store, it shows and explains in detail what to do.

The book will pay for itself in no time. (about $20)
