How do you replace the alternator on a 2002 Mazda Protege LX?

Answer:
Remove the cruise control diaphragm and take it out of the way to gain access from the top. Disconnect the battery negative to prevent shorts. Go in from underneath and take to finish the rest of the job. Disconnect the exhaust pipe donut connection and slide back the catback exhaust to buy room where u could slipe the alternator out from underneath. Gonna have to disconnect the muffler hangers; theres four of them. Then its taking the step in reverse and put together time.
