Hi everyone,
I have 2002 Chevy Malibu 3.1 SFI V6. How do I remove the alternator bracket? I am planning to take off both front and rear valve covers except the rear has bracket is blocking the cover. I have already taken out 3 bolts from the bracket but the bracket is still securely on there. Is there another bolt that I can't see that I need to remove? or do I need to remove both the pulley and tensionor? I picked up a Haynes manual but it only shows three bolts to be removed but it's on a 2.4 engine.

If its similar to the 1999, then you need to take off the temnsioner bolts and all the bolts on that side to get the alternator bracket off.
