I got stranded near Toledo coming back from PA en route to Michigan yesterday. The car was running fine but lost the ability to charge the battery. Therefore, no wipers, lights, etc and with the incoming snowstorm (and darkness), my wife did want to risk it. Dropped it off at my cousins and worked a bit trying to get the alternator off. We eventually caught a ride by my brother but the car is still there.

Has anyone done this recently? What bolts are necessary and which ones can I avoid? Do I need to remove that tensioner bolt etc?

Thanks,

Don
