The hardware and electrical connector on the alternator that you'll have to remove or loosen is pretty direct.
You may, however need more slack in the belt than the alternator's adjuster offers. In this
case, find the belt tensioner in the belt path. A wrench or socket will fit on the front of it. Rotate until you get some belt slack, then pull the belt off of the alternator.
NOTE! pay attention to the belt routing! If you have a diagram under the hood somewhere, good. If not, make your own sketch so you know how the belt routes. There's a good chance
that you'll knock the belt off a couple of pulleys when you do the job. Getting it back on correctly is important. It helps to have another set of hands available to manipulate the belt.
