You could also check out the factory service manual. There's a link to all of them in my signature

i don't remember if i had to do one on my old b14, but everything about that car was fairly straight forward. i imagine the biggest hurtles will be accessing mounting bolts and maneuvering the old alternator out and the new one in.

The most important thing to know is what engine you have.

FWD alternators are always a bit of a PITA, since they tend to be crammed against the inner fender. But they're not terrible. Really, the toughest part tends to be releasing the tensioner pulley so you can get the belt off--the pulley is ALSO crammed in between the block and fender and there's not always a lot of room for moving a wrench of man-sized arm.

Remember to disconnect the battery or you'll probably get a fun surprise while trying to unscrew the thing.

Sentras are usually good for having a removable panel in the wheel well for that kind of stuff also... remove the passenger wheel and see if you have one.
