It comes out the bottom, here are some instructions: Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the serpentine drive belt. Raise and support the vehicle safely. Remove the right front wheel from the vehicle. Remove the right wheel inner fender splash shield. If equipped, remove the alternator dust shield attaching bolt and unclip the shield from the alternator. When removing the dust shield, be careful not to damage the rubber boot over the battery's positive terminal. Disengage the alternator field wire connector. Remove the retaining nut and wire from the positive (B+) terminal on the back of the alternator, using alternator output stud wrench SA9401C or equivalent, as a back-up wrench to prevent the stud from rotating. If the positive terminal stud rotates, the plastic insulator will crack or break, causing alternator failure. Remove the upper and lower alternator attaching bolts. Remove the alternator from the vehicle through the wheel well opening.
