Just remove the fan and loosen the belt, you can reach the alternator and remove it.

Hi Rogerkiu, hope you get to see this thread; just wondering if you could guide me on how to remove the electrical fan. What should I pay attention to so I do't break anything, etc. I need to replace the alternator, but having difficulty removing the electrical fan. It seems like stuck at the bottom. Can it be done from underneath without removing the fan?
Thanks,
