To answer people's questions...
dmz... I did the job because the old battery was no longer charging. The battery was almost 4 years old and failed a couple times. I recharged it but it wasn't holding a charge. But I never got a battery light. I put in a new batt figuring I'd rather do it now than when my wife got stranded in winter with me traveling someplace. Then with the new batt I did get a battery light. Tested the alternator and it was only putting out 11.4 volts. I didn't take the shop's word for it. I did the test with the guy. And I had checked it myself with a voltmeter. New alternator, light goes out. It was definitely bad.
Dean... as for moving the engine forward to make removal easier, I don't think it's necessary. It's a tight fit but not hard to get out if you've pulled the bracket, which only takes a couple of minutes.
