[Shotimes] Alternator hints

[Hartberger, Jason M. AT2 (AW)]

The alternator is one of the easiest things in the SHO to take out,
IMHO. First you have to remove the battery (and preferably the battery
tray, but it's not necessary). Then, you take the serpentine belt off...
and it's all just right there. Four bolts (the bottom two are tougher to
get to but it's not that hard) and don't forget to take the B+ terminal
off the back of it and it's out. I've had one out and another one back
in... grand total, 23 minutes. Certainly not the first time I've done
it, though ;). Most of it was spent nursing a knuckle wound and getting
the battery tray back in.

Disconnect the battery first thing.
