Replaced my Alternator
It finally got warm enough to work on my car, and the replacement part arrived at my door just yesterday. I also made a little video for the sake of comparison. If you're looking for a DIY guide, search YouTube for the 1AAuto step by step video.
The alternator I removed was installed some time in 2010-2011, by the previous owner.
edit: Just wanted to add that having a set of Flexible GearWrenches made this job a whole lot easier. There is barely any room to work, with all the A/C lines and harnesses in the way, so the ability to have a ratchet in a very tight space was a life saver. For anyone interested, I used 10, 12, and 14mm wrenches.
