With regard to replacing the alternator:
1) Can I replace the alternator from the top? Is there a link to a tech session write-up describing an efficient procedure for replacing the alternator?
2) Should I install a new belt with it? Current belts are 2.5 years old, with about 6000 miles on them. Can I install a new alternator belt without removing the other belts? Should I replace all the belts? I do not have a belt tension tester, it there a reasonable rule of thumb for proper belt tension?
Related Question: I bought new spare belts 2 years ago. Do unused belts age out like tires? The spares are stored under the couch.
All helpful suggestions are appreciated. I'm always learning. Thanks.
