Alternator Installation?
Hey guys, I was just wondering if putting a new alternator into the 8 is hard at all? I'm not too mechanically inclined, but I really want to start learning. The reason I'm installing it is, the place I took my 8 had said that the cost for a new alternator from Mazda was $500, and sure enough, they were right. Well, I was able to find one online (Onlinemazdaparts.com) for $159, so I was to install it myself to keep the price down. Thanks!

RR has a FS thread for a used alternator for $95 shipped.
I believe the alternator has a tension bolt, and then one or two more bolts to hold it in place, and a plug ... should be easy to swap.

I really have no idea. I was driving one day, and all of the sudden the little battery light came on, and it's been on ever since.
