Last Friday my car started dying about 5 miles from my apartment and by the
time I made it home it was barely running, I rolled into the driveway.  I
knew it must be the alternator since the battery is good and I went through
the same problem when the brushes on my alternator wore out.  This time
however it's not a cheap, easy brush fix, I had the alternator tested and it
is only outputting 11.4V at load.
I have a Bentley CD manual but can't seem to find an alternator removal
procedure (I just got it a few weeks ago and don't know my way around it too
well yet), I thought I remembered someone going through the process a few
months back on the list but the search turned up nothing.  Does anyone have
a write up for changing the alternator?  I figure spending 10 minutes
reading a BTDT will save me a couple hours when it comes to doing the job
this weekend.
Thanks,
Chuck
