alternator on '90 Maxima
 

So I told this chick I know I would help install her alternator in the Maxima. Never done one before, anybody here have any experience? All I know is they have 3.0L V6, that's the extent of my knowledge on old Maximas. Jeff you work at a Nissan dealership right? I know you know the answer to this... anybody please chime in on this. I've changed plenty of alternators before but I was just wondering if this one had a particular thing about it that might make it a bitch, do I have to take it out through the bottom, what. I haven't even looked at her motor yet so I'm hoping this will be a piece of cake. Thanks in advance.

its a basic job, no surprises. I used to have a 90 GXE...used to love that car :'(

Yea they are pimp rides, other than the fact that hers is red which looks ugly IMO. White is the way to go and maybe black on that car. So basically 3 bolts or so and she's out huh? Sittin on top nice and easy to get at?

bottom left if your staring at the engine. I forget what year i did one on, but it was only a bitch to get the bolts out cuz they were old. They have a little threaded box that you can tighten ones it tight to make sure its on good. i didnt have a problem with it, you should be all set. Then ---- her ;)
