Has anyone replaced their alternator? If so, do you have any advice or tips? Considering doing an alternator replacement myself on the 2005 S40. 92K miles with a sluggish start. Autozone computer indicates the alternator is going bad.

Replaced the battery today, and the alternator now tests OK! I was skeptical of the Autozone tester, now I have confirmation.

Hold the charger if the store is the core charge payment. Put the new alternator and tighten the bolts just enough to maintain the alternator, but slow enough so you can scroll through the system of the charger.
