Ok I just did this about 2 minutes ago, I had this open cause I was confused on how to do it too. First disconnect the battery, then take the top bolt off the alternator. Slip off the serpentine belt, you may need to use the tensioner pulley to do this. Disconnect the numerous small electrical wires going to the alternator and remember where they go. The bottom bolt is tough, but back it out as much as you can.The bottom bolt hits on a black bracket just behind it, so just loosen the black bracket. The bracket is connected with two bolts, I took off the bolt from the bracket right by where the alternator bolt hits and loosened the other one just enough to get it to move some, the bottom alternator bolt slides right out. Then just switch it out and reconnect everything else how it was. Make sure you tighten up the black bracket too. Then the hard part is getting the serpentine belt back on, not sure about anyone else but that is possibly the most dreaded task for my Chrysler. Even having just replaced the tensioner pulley it takes hours and is quite draining.
