My 1997 Chevy Cavalier. I have a problem with trying to repair.
Dear JK: how do you replace the alternator?  Have 2 bolts
off, still cannot remove alternator.  Thanks!             


          
                                     




JK: That depends on if you have a 2.2l, or 2.4l engine. Both have 3 bolts
that hold it on. On the 2.2l, there are 2 on the front and 1 on the back
that is difficult to find. It is behind a  bracket on the rear lower side. On the
2.4l there are 2 on top and 1 and the bottom. see  pics.
