I have never done an alternator but if you pick up a Haynes manual (or similar) they will give you the steps and a difficulty rating.



I would be surprised if it was more that 3 or 4 bolts, an electrical connection and an drive belt tensioning adjustment.



Hope that helps

I learned to swap out bits of the car just by doing ... the skill is knowing how to put it back if you get out your depth - a camera and notes are essential but Haynes is terrific (I did the head gasket as my first ever job just from Haynes!)

Turn it upside down and shake it.
Take all the bolt,nuts/washers and wires off. Remember where they all went....put them all back on and re tighten the belt.
