I just replaced my alternator this past weekend. It took me a total of 14 hours and I had to log onto Saabnet twice...but I got it. I took the two easy bolts off the alternator bracket and then swivled it around on the bottom bolt so that I could remove the main bolt that holds the alternator to the bracket. I did't have to remove the a/c unit, though it would have made my life a little simpler. If I had any mechanical abilites what so ever it wouldn't have taken 14hrs. I still learning... The best part was that once I had it all put back together, I forgot to put the oil filter on the car before I started the engine... I shot 3 quarts of oil all over the garage in about 10 seconds... Nice to know the oil light works.
I bought a rebuild Alternator for $145 from a Bumper to Bumper auto parts store.
