Question
How do I get this puppy out so I can replace it?

Answer
Hi John, This is not a just unbolt it and remove it as you can see. Here are the steps....
Disconnect the battery ground (negative) cable. Remove the drive belt from generator. Remove the windshield wiper system module cover. Remove the windshield wiper motor crank arm link from the wiper motor and move aside. Position the wiper arms to a vertical position on the windshield.
Remove the engine mount strut bracket bolts and rotate engine forward.
Disconnect the electrical connector from the generator.
Remove the nut and the battery positive lead from the generator output BAT terminal.
Remove the generator front brace. Remove the generator mounting bolts.
Remove the generator bolt (pivot bolt) and nut from the generator. Set the generator aside.
Remove the generator bracket from the engine. Remove the generator.

Hope this helps
