...just replaced my alternator last week, not a bad project, it took me about 3hrs without rushing at all. Here's a quick diy off the top of my head...
1)....disconnect battery
2)....remove drive belt by taking pressure off tensioner
3)....remove pulley from vane pump
.....all other steps will be performed from under vehicles
4)....remove undercover from vehicle
5)...loosen 3 bolts from front of alternator...(1 on bottom, 1 on side, 1 on top)
6)....remove bolts & support alternator with hand or front sway bar
7)...unplug harness....be very careful, it has a push in lock tab,may be hard to get loose
8)...disconnect battery connection from alternator....(1 nut )
9)...should be able to wiggle it out over the sway bar & in front of radiator
####....removing the bottom radiator hose will make the job easier (pulling alternator out & installing),but I was able to manage it without removing the hose....#####
10)....reverse the steps to install....I did test everything,before bolting the undercover back in place
....I think I remembered all the steps I took....hope this helps you
