How do i change the alternator on a 1995 toyota corolla?

if someone can please give me the step by step explanation on how to replace an alternator on a 1995 corolla im pretty sure its as simple as removing two bolts unplugging the wire that goes to it and then sliding it off and putting the new one on i know im supposed to disconnect the battery but is there a way to loosen the belt first or does the alternator come off first i would like to do this myself rather then have to ask my dad please help the alternator on this particular model is right in the front very easy to get to right behind the radiator i am sure it is the alternator because i can jump the car and then disconnect the battery and it dies instantlyHow do i change the alternator on a 1995 toyota corolla?
Okay, you have a serpentine belt I assume. There is a bolt on one of your pulley's center's.



You find the right socket or wrench size. This takes some ELBOW GREASE you put that socket on and PULL with one hand, then be sure you hold that **** because you can snap your finger into pieces. NOT to scare you.Pull that belt away and CLEARLY off of the pulley and THEN AND ONLY THEN YOU can let go of that wrench with your other hand. Very simple and if you have questions email me. I dont want you to loose your fingers. Im not shouting at you.
