Fixing alternator, and changing belt
My alternator finally went bad.A friend of mine said it's not a hard repair so, I'm planning on doing the repairs my self, and while I'm at it I'm going to change my belt, since whenever I turn my a/c on it squeals loudly.
I have a 2004 honda civic lx 5 speed. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice/tips on how to do this properly. I'm going to spend some time looking at videos, and reading articles.
Thanks, for the help!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Find the DIY/sticky here for a timing belt job, I think that covers getting the alternator out and in.

I was able to fix it. Had an issue with stripping the first bolt, but after a few hours of filing it down, and hammering a socket wrench into it, I was able to get it out, and from then on it was just all following the instructions from this site. Thanks!
