fist you need to disconnect the battery! remove belt tension and remove the belt. disconnect the connector and 12mm bolt connector. drain some coolant as i remmeber the upper rad hose is in the way, remove hose as needed. remove the mounting bolts. shimmy alternaotr out and install in reverse manner
