Hi:
This isn't that hard of a job. All you need to do is first disconnect the battery. After that, remove the belt. Now, unbolt unclip any wiring to the rear of the alt remembering where they were so you can replace them on the new alt. Next, remove the bolts holding the alt on the car and remove the alt. Replace it in the reverse order.

I hope this helps.
