alternator install

I googled and researched the forum, but I did not find instructions how to replace an alternator. Anybody was luckier?

I know you have an evo, but I couldn't find anything for the lancer either... I got the lancer repair manual which was just the diagram that SLVROZ_03 posted on my thread.

I'm doing the install here in a few min... i'll try to take some pics, maybe it will help

i installed it last night and it only took a couple of hours as I had no idea what to really do. I'm going to try to get a write-up on how to do it.
It wasn't the easiest thing to get to, but with a combination of going under the car for some bolts and above the car for others, it worked out fine and the electrical is finally charging again
no more trips to autozone to charge my battery enough to get me to and from work

It's a pain. No real easy way to do it. If you were to take the intake manifold off it would be easy to get to but thats not an easy task either. I am about to do it for the second time. You can get to the connectors and bottom bolt if you jack the car up and get under it.
