Yes, the job is a bit of a bear as I recall. I had no trouble following the DIY steps posted here => http://p-car.com/diy/alternator/alternator.html
The toughest part was getting the center pulley bolt off. After the bolt was off, it went relatively smoothly thou.
Congrads of successful DIY, always a great sense of accomplishment at the end!

Our toughest part was my son's "big hands", having the right tools(made a couple of trips) and getting the shims right to adjust the belt tension....it was the father-son thing that made it worthwhile....Steve C and my son Nathan...97 993TT(lightened flywheel, Patrick Motorsports ECU upgrade, GT 3 clutch, muffler by-pass)
