1995 Nissan Altima - replacing alternator

I need to replace the alternator on my 1995 Altima. Is this something my husband can do? He's found 2 of the 3 bolts holding it on, but is having trouble finding the 3rd.

Any suggestions or help is appreciated.

Thanks,
KJ

Yes. Have him purchase a Haines or Chiltons Manual at Auto Zone or similar store. I have changed 2 alternators on my 95 Altima in my time and I am not an expert mechanic. Also check out:

Pretty good primer for the novice.

I did not remove the belt all the way. Merely slipped it off the old alternator pulley and then slip the new alternator onto the old belt and then tightened/adjust the belt as needed when done.
Good luck.

2005 Altima Nissan break light and battery light went on then car died 2 days later. Replaced the battery but lights did not go off. I think that @ two days ago I heard like a thump like a belt broke or...

Check alternator belt. Light is to show alternator working, not battery state.
If you have a volt meter check output is around 12.5 -14.5 volts when car running.
