Re: help, 1995 cavalier z24 alternator

first you need a new alternator. after that open the hood

1st loosen the alternator so it swivels. and you can take the belt of then take the nut that it swivels on off, and then the one you loosend then take it out and reverse process to put it back in just get a breaker bar to tighten the belt back. its quite simple theres only like three or four bolts to take of i think. dont quote me on that

DITTO!!!!! Torque specs on an alt! ahahahahahahahahahaha, ugh. I guess 35-40 lbs would be about right if you must measure it.

As for special ordering the Haynes book....THAT SUCKS! They should have this book! How many Cavi's are there on the road?

Re: help, 1995 cavalier z24 alternator

your in luck taking the belt of a cava is easy as they come just get a socket that fits the tensioner right under the alternator and act like your tightening the bolt on it. it should move down than pull the belt of and take out the 3 bolts that are connected to it and take it in to autozone or somthing and get a new alternator and bring your old one so you get the core value
