I have to replave the alternator in my 94 Diamante wagon but the darn thing is way down in the rear of the motor. Does anyone know the easiest way to get to it? I see a plastic cover under the wheelwell that comes off. Might that be the way to access the alternator or maybe from underneith?

There is no easy way to do it. It is going to be grunt work and tough. You are going to have remove that splash cover under the wheel well by jacking it up and also remove some components on the top of the engine compartment to reach adjusting bolt and lock nut. Once you do that you have to loosen the pivot bolt that is connected from under the car which loosens the timing belt enough to release the altenator. Then you have to make room to lift the alternator through the top of the compartment. This is not a step by step instruction but it a loose idea of all the work that has to be done. You can go to any advanced auto parts store and the HAYNES manual for step by step instructions. BUT IT WONT BE EASY. TRUST ME. I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SAME THING!!!!
