No link but I'll try to talk you through it. Disconnect the battery ground. Unplug the wire at the alternator. One 17 mm bolt attaches the tension bracket to the motor (remove first, right under the thermostat housing) You'll need a flex head ratchet to make it easy. One 17 mm bolt attaches the alternator to the motor on the bottom (you'll have to go under the car and remove second). The alternator will now hit you in the head! I have described the most direct way of doing it as I know others will chime in. This way the tension bracket will come out with the alternator under the car. You can do it without removing the bracket from the car as well. I think you need to see for yourself how the bracket attaches to the alternator though. Simple yet hard to describe. Remove the 17mm bolt on the back of the tension assembly BEFORE you turn the 13mm tension bolt. I hope this helps.
