how do i go about replacing this?? i have searched up and down, but can not seem to find out how to do it.
please help
thanks

no pep boys, autozone, and advance don't have it for the 95, they only have the pre 95's it is a special order, and i wouldnt get for 5-7 business days.

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?

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
