How hard is it to replace an alternator on a 1990 Honda Civic LX 4-door? The dealer said that they remove the axle to get to it? Is it difficult or impossible to remove it from the top?

it can be done, but you have to snake the alt from the drivers side over to the passenger side and then have to swiftly move some hose's around to bring it out the top, right beside the intake manifold and the passenger shock tower, not easy but can be done.

remove the alt. from its brackets, and remove the bracket itself, and work it out the hole. i had to do it on my hatch.
