How to remove/install Alt '89 Civic V-tech 2.2
 

Managed to remove the alternator but am having difficulty installing the replacement. Any tips? I've removed one engine mount already. TIA!

On this model, most techs remove the left axle in order to gain enough room
to remove the alternator.

You can also try removing the oil filter if you haven't already. This will
give you more access going from the under side. Sometimes you can squeeze
the alternator past the axle and sometimes you can't.
