Don\u2019t do the alternator until it dies, it\u2019s an easy job because it\u2019s the first thing you see when you open the hood. It takes as long to get the plastic cover off and the belt off then to get the alt out although you may need a pry bar to wiggle it out.
I just changed the alternator twice on my 08 Legacy. First time it went I bought a remanufactured alternator. That was fine for a week or so, then the car wouldn't start. Alternator was bad and I had to replace it again. It took a while to trust the second one but it's worked well so far the past couple months so I guess it's fine.
Since the new alternator cost me $100, and the plugs and cables $50, why not! I've never even changed my oil before, but I just changed my friggin' alternator. Now, my car is running sooo much better, and my check engine light is gone.
