no core required for starters and alternators

on a 2005 Saturn Vue 4 cylinder. The installation of the generator itself was simple and straightforward. Removing the strap was difficult. You need to remove the air filter housing. The belt tensioner lever has a 3/8 square hole (I guess) and it's tricky to get a ratchet in there, but I just about managed it. Most online videos are 6 cylinder Vue or other cars. If you can remove the belt, it's an easy job with a part that fits and looks just like the real thing. Tested 5/22/20, installed 12/24/19 and still works great. Many Thanks
