Re: How do you take the alternator off for a 96 plymouth...
For REMOVAL & INSTALLATION check this procedure...
-
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
-
Loosen, but do not remove the alternator adjusting nut.
-
Turn the front wheels completely to the right, then raise and
safely support the vehicle.
-
Unfasten the retainers, then remove the plastic lower splash
shield.
-
Unfasten the alternator field circuit wiring connector. You must
squeeze the locking tab to release it.
-
Remove the B+ terminal nut and wire.
-
Loosen the alternator pivot bolt, but do not remove it.
-
Remove the alternator drive belt. The alternator spill shield does
not have to be removed.
-
If necessary, remove the bottom pivot bolt and anti-rotation tab.
-
Unfasten the three mounting pivot bracket bolts, then remove the
pivot bolt and bracket.
-
Holding the alternator in one hand, remove the adjustment nut then
slide the alternator off the T-bolt. The T-bolt does not have to be
removed. Lower the alternator and remove through the wheel well.
To install:

You may need to use a C-clamp to drive the sleeve into the
mounting ear for installation clearance.
-
Position the alternator in the vehicle, sliding it onto the
T-bolt. Install the adjusting nut.
-
Install the bracket and pivot bolt, then install the three
mounting pivot bracket bolts. Tighten the bolts to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm).
-
If removed, install the anti-rotation tab and bottom pivot bolt
hand-tight.
-
Install the alternator drive belt.
-
Tighten the alternator pivot bolt to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm).

Install the B+ terminal wire and nut. Tighten the nut to 75 inch
lbs. (9 Nm).
-
Attach the alternator field circuit wiring connector, making sure
the locking tabs are engaged.
-
Install the splash shield, then carefully lower the vehicle.
-
Tighten the adjusting nut.

Connect the negative battery cable. Adjust the
alternator belt.
Hope helps.
