I need to replace the alternator (and core charge?) in my alternator and I know where it's at in my car, just can't find anywhere that shows me how to replace it.

The core charge will be returned when you take the old alternator back to the store.

As far as replacement, disconnect the battery first. Remove the serp belt, disconnect the wiring to the rear of the alternator, and unbolt and remove the old alt and replace it with the new one.
