The alternator went out on my Celica as well, i was silly enough to leave the parking lights on all night, as i was driving at dusk and didnt see the need to have the headlights popped up. Basically there are 3 bolts that need to be taken off. There's one that holds the alternator in place, one that keeps it flush against the engine, and one on the bracket. (This is if i remember correctly) I recommend you disconnect the battery for this, as any mistake could cause disaster. Once the battery is disconnected, you unplug the alternator. Easy done. First bolt I recommend you take off is the bracket. That is only there to keep it steady. I would then take off the bolt that holds it tight against the engine. (At this point it may be best to have a mate there helping you) You need to make sure the alternator doesnt move when its still connected to the engine, because chances are, the bolt will bend under the weight of the alternator. Taking this final bolt off is simple enough, then its just a case of wiggling the alternator off the brace, and its yours. Goodluck.
