i don't think you're supposed to do it in their lot. is it as easy as changing a battery?

Yes. Once on a '95 Jeep Cherokee and once again on a '06 Chrysler T&C.

Honestly the replacement is easy. It's the tension belt that is the hard part.

I had no choice and it took 10 minutes.

not quite that easy, but pretty easy in my experience. depends on the location of the alternator. on my mustang its was easy to get to.

4.6. it was right on top. pull out 3 or 4 bolts and adjust the belt tensioner and it was off.

Yeah, it's pretty easy. Just make sure you tighten the belt when you put it back on or it will shred.

Yeah as others said its an easy job.

I once had to wait for like two hours for a supposedly accomplished backyard mechanic to change one out on my girlfriends toyota while i just got more and more pissed cause i coulda literally done it in an eighth of that time.

But oh no her sisters bf knew what he was doing.

Which was mostly taking two fucking hours to do a simple, quickass job while we were broken down two hours from seattle and like another 4 hours from home.

But i was the asshole for getting mad about her not trusting me to do it for some god forsaken reason.

It's harder than a battery, it took some tools and maybe 30min in my Ford truck

I also did it in the parts store parking lot

What do you plan to do with this information? I dont think you deserve to know, and you're going to use this against me! I feel threatened!

No, I have not.
