87 Integra alternator
Hello,
I have to replace the alternator on my 1987 Integra. Do you think this is something a medium skilled driveway mechanic can do? I have basic tools and a couple of jackstands. I've replaced alts. on other cars but it looks pretty tight in there.
Thanks.

You gotta hit it from underneath after loosening everything up top. I did it 3 times on my 89 before I got rid of it. It's not hard, just look at what you have to do. I think the largest socket you would use will be 12mm. Just be sure to disconnect the battery so you don't arch out. Good luck.

you'll have to take the axle out and the oil filter off...
