If you purchase an alternator at your local auto parts store the
manufacturer often includes installation instructions. At least they
where included when I replaced it in my 96 SL.

O yea, the part cost about $119-$130. Don’t remember exactly, the
parts store I went to took the old one back and credited me for the
"core charge" which gave me back about $40 I think. This was about 2
years ago.
