Does anyone know how to remove the alternator on a 00 LS V-8. I don't have a repair manual and the auto parts store here don't carry them.

I have most it it disconnetcted, pivot bolt, two bolts on either side of the bottom, power wire,the belts off. Can't figure out what is still holding it on.

I have just discovered I can order a manual on-line, but that will not help me at the moment. I need to get it back on the road as soon as possible. If any would knows or has a manual that could type in the how-to instructions or e-mail them I would really appreaciate it. Maybe even e-mail a scan of the page in the manual. Thanks

Damn Lou! You are a gear head for sure! :Beer

Thank's Quik, You tha' Man! I had everything off but that A/C line was holding it in. I'm still irked that I needed to replace after 50,000 miles. So, for future reference a mechanic friend told me the alternators are too small for that car. If anyone else has charging problems.
