Nelson:
You begin by removing two sections of carpeted base. Start with
the short piece at the nightstand. There are screws hidden in the
carpet that hold the base in place. Use a magnetic stud finder to
assist in locating the screws.
Next, pull the carpet back, again starting at the night stand.
There are actually (2) pieces of plate. It is obvious which has
to be removed first. The second and largest has screws into the back
wall, so you probably will have to pull some plumbing clamps in order
to see all of them.
In order to provide more working room, you can remove a 10-12"
piece of the plywood supporting the mattress along that isle. Once
you remove the mattress, you can see it.
Once the plates are removed, you can see the alternator. Loosen
the anchor bolt before loosening the adjusting bolt. Do this after
you have removed the (3) wires from the alternator.
Since you have to work on your knees, bent over in a hole, you
will find that this is not a fun job. I suggest you use a piece of
plywood for kneeling over the opening. A trouble light will also help.
When you have re-built the alternator, the process is just the
reverse. You will need an air stapler or electric stapler to
reinstall the carpet.
Let me know if you need anything else.
