Installing HO alt in a 99 Acura Integra

[SethPhillips 5,000+ posts]

got my new alt today.

just kinda looked over the engine bay and what needs to be done in order to swap alt's.

anyone done this in my year of acura integra? just need some tips/tricks...

looks to me like i will need to pull the driver side wheel, CV axle ( witch needs replaced anyways ) and then it should come out threw the bottom.

anyone done this?

thanks

Interesting... Ive have honda's for years...

Unbolt the power steering line holder from the valve cover, and pull it threw the top takes like 10min todo..
