Question How do you install an alternator

Hello fellow HHR lovers New to forum & really need your feedback. Have a 2006 Chevy HHR 2LT that's acting like a wayward child! 2 nights ago while driving, battery light came on..then T/C lt...then check engine light...then ABS light all almost simultaneously! If not enough, the radio started making funny noises, stopped playing (radio display lts flickered but stayed on), & a/c would go off & on. Over past 60 days, I've had a/c condensor, compressor, battery, & camshaft position sensor replaced.

Guessing alternator is at death's door; so I researched/ordered new one online (praying it fits--will receive 7/18/12). My brother is installing the new alternator but, I can't find instructions/pics describing how to do it (all equipment is factory installed). HOPING THERE'S A HHR GURU OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP

THANKS

Remove belt, remove bolts, unbolt power wire, and if needed pulley....reverse order

Unsure if you have 2.2 or 2.4, but on 2.0 its a total BI*** to remove!!!

Disconnect battery before you do any work! Don't want to short out anything.
