2005 XC70 Alternator Replacement Help

Disconnect battery negative-don't let it flop back into position and contact the battery.
Remove the accessory belt (make a drawing of the routing, slacken at the tensioner, remove) This'll take a 3/4" square lug fitting or large Torx bit depending on tensioner).
Remove the air intake-to-cleaner hose and the charge air pipe
Radiator fan/shroud out
You may have to remove the oil dipstick tube and clear it I'm not sure
Disconnect alternator's wiring
My alternator just unbolted. Your's may require loosening of the AC compressor's bolts (beneath it) to create wiggle room.
You may have to remove the PS pump's bolts (through the pulley itself and swing it out of the way. No hose disconnections necessary
The turbo-to-intercooler pipe may need removal
Have yours rebuilt at a starter/alternator shop. I got new bearings, regulator and new freewheel for $125 as I recall.
If the upper radiator hose in in the way, drain the system down a bit so you can remove the upper hose clamp (at the radiator)
