1. Yes Sir, you didn't read carefully. With the OFH out of the car, the CCV job is much easier.
In order to remove the OFH, the alternator needs to come out.
However, as mentioned above, I left the PS Pump in place.
2. No it is not dangerous working near alternator as long as one knows what he/she is doing.
The only source for electrical spark is the big red cable that connects to the back side of the alternator, which I already tied out of the way as shown.
