First step would be to disconnect the negative lead on the battery. Remove the belt, disconnect the electrical connections on the alternator(normally a bolted wire and a plastic connector). Then remove the mounting bolts holding the alternator to the mounting bracket/engine. The installation is just reversing what you have already done.
