its a pretty easy job. first disconnect the battery negative post. then remove the serpentine belt by using a big breaker bar on the belt tensioner( theres a sticker on the hood how it goes back). there are 2 14mm bolts holding the alternator in. romove those and the pig nose electrical connector on the backside. i was able to take the alternator off under the car or throught the engine bay if you dont want to jack it up and remove the undercover.
