At least my Saturn's alternator sits in front, above the compressor, and lifts right out after you remove the airbox and tubing. But I accidentally knocked the belt off the crank pulley and after much time wasted trying to guide it back on, I ended up taking apart the fender liner, then the belt went right back on the pulleys when I had decent access to the crank pulley. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
