How to change alternator on 1994 grand caravan 3.3?

If you can see the alternator high up on the engine somewhere rather than stuffed down where it's hard to get to, then it may be an easier job for you. If it's driven off the serpentine belt, insert a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar in the automatic belt tensioner and release the tension enough to slide the belt off the alternator pulley. Likewise, if the alternator is driven off a separate pulley, loosen the alternator mounting bolts, remembering how they go back on the engine when you remove the old alternator. The main B+ wire is thicker and goes to the battery, so disconnect the battery cables first before attempting to remove the alternator wires. The field wires will be on a removable plastic connector that has a tab that needs to be released before pulling it out of the alternator housing.How to change alternator on 1994 grand caravan 3.3?
My best advice is to get a Haynes Book, available from AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts, to describe in detail, it would be easier for me to just do it.
