It is a tight squeeze, but possible - there is enough space if you can get underneath the car.

I've not done it myself, but know it was done on the test vehicles during development of the Matiz.

    if its a serpentine belt you put a ratchet on the tensioner pully and push or pull it till it take tension off the belt, to make it easy buy a maintenence book at your local auto parts store

    Loosen the nut on top of the alternator, loosen the bolt on the bottom of the alternator, it should easily slide to loosen the belts. Remove both bolts before removal of the alternator.

    Napa Auto parts can test it for free.Sounds like a bad battery.

    Take it to a parts store and have them test the charging sytem for free.
    I would say your battery is bad but to be on the safe side I would go to autozone and get a free charging system check.
    maybe you got a bad alternator. should still be under warranty. find the receipt or if you can not find it go back to where you bought it %26amp; have them check it. if it is not bad you will need to replace your battery.
    With the car engine running, use a voltmeter to measure the output voltage of the alternator. If it is measured 13-14 V, your alternator is good. This means your battery fails to hold the charge. You need a new battery.
    It could be both, eather the alternator or the battery
    Local Auto parts store can check both. Hitch a ride and take your battery to them and they will tell if batt. is good. If its neither you have what is called a phantom charge using juice from your battery while it is parked....Ie clock, something plugged into ciggarette lighter or dome or trunk light.

    How do I change the alternator on a 2000 mazda mpv minivan?

    Minivans are a bit harder, as they kind of cram everything into the engine compartment...while you may not like this, I'd take it to a shop. I work on cars, and don't like vans...but that's my preference.



    Otherwise, remove the negative battery cable and put it to the side...find the serpentine belt tensioner, relieve the tension with a breaker bar or wrench, slip the belt off the alternator...remove the wires on the alternator, remove the two to three bolts holding it to the brackets (you may have to remove a bracket too)...remove alternator.



    Put the new alternator on it, in reversing the steps. Be careful in putting the wires back on...when you put the belt back on, make darn sure the belt is tracking in all the grooves on ALL the pulleys, and routes as per the label routing picture.

    You must be a mechanic. Mobile has taken this initiative to perform a fix on his van which, as the owner of the CHUNK OF CRAP RE-BADGE FORD, I have earned the right to say that we are DONE with paying $75p/hour for work on a van that is in the shop on a bi-monthly basis.

    Most likely metric, however, some were both, metric and standard.

    With a wrench and a screwdriver.
    Look for a CHILTON'S GUIDE or other repair manual. Local libraries may have them going back a few years. See what you can turn up.
    i own a shop,and you take the battery cable off of it first,,the start taking the tension of the belt,,once this is done,,you remove the bolts and wires and remove the alternator,,reverse this and that's how you install it,,be care full,and take your time,,you need a good repair manual for this vehicle,,a good Haynes repair manual would help you a whole lot on this job,,and many more you might want to do to this vehicle,,good luck hope this help,s.,happy new years.
    Don't forget to remove the negative side of the terminal on your battery to keep from anything getting shorted out!!!!
    Also am a mechanic and Dodge Man is right on.
    the belt tension is loosened by a bolt behind and under the power steering fluid reseviour. can be a ***** to get to. other than that its about the same as any other alternator swap.
