Well my battery is not charging up when the car is started so Im thinking my alternator is bad. I want to take it out so I can go have it tested. I have looked at the articals at pelicans but Im still lost on were the alternator is located some pictures would be great.

I know you said you looked at the articles on the Bird site, but look through them again. I thought I described the process of removing and replacing pretty decently... And Jim Thorusen wrote up a lengthy article about troubleshooting the charging system--R&R of the alternator is enough of a pain that you really don't wanna do it if you don't have to. So make sure that the alt is actually your problem first.
