You will need to remove the serpentine belt from around all your components (ac, alternator, Power Steering pump, pulley, crankshaft). Then there are two 14mm bolts holding the alternator onto the assembly shaft. The manual suggests you remove the power steering pump first and then the alternator, so that you have more room. But you can also do it without. I would really suggest buying a manual before doing this. It is a simple procedure that will take a shade tree mechanic about 2.5 hours to complete.
