Alternator - W140 - is it "easy"
Before I order the alternator - is it "easy"
Steps 1 - Disconnect battery 2 - Release belt (picture 1 - belt) - is it released by turning the "bolt"? 3 - Remove the alternator - do I just remove the bolts? If that's all, I may be able to do this myself. Alternator 143amp - Remanufactured Bosch IN STOCK $627.00 $283.01 Please assess the difficulty - I have many years experience, but I'm also getting more careless.

Post for Other DIY's
the w140 alternator replacement was "easy" but it took me several hours.
No majot brain work, just labor teh following are the steps I took, in a attempt of correct order. To replace the alternator on a 140 (1993 500SEL) 1 - Disconnect the battery 2 - remove both the under carrage covers 3 - Remove both coolant hoses near the alternator 4 - remove the transmittion line to the radiator. Completly remove - both ends. 5 - Disconnect wires from back of alternator 6 - Loosen the serpentine belt - with teh tentioner - 17 mm wrenc and move tentioner, remove belt 7 - Remove two bolts that hold alternator in. 8 - With all wires disconnected, and hoses removed - the alternator can me wiggled out of the car. 9 - Remove the belt pully from the old alternator. Snce I didn't have a big vise to hld the old alternator - to remove the pulley, I jacked the car, placed the old alternatore under the tire, lowered the car just enough to "grabe the alternator". Thuis will hold the alternator - remove the pulley 10- As the say - replacement is the reverse of removal. No rocket science, but not just pull and replace - the other stuff must be removed first. If others have improvements to this list - please post. I was going to replace the voltage reguklator on the old alternator - but didn't see how to do it . Hence I have an extra voltage regulator - yes I had purchasedboth an alternator and the voltage regulator. Just wanted to be "ready:. Thanks for the help.
