Nelson, alternator replacement is pretty straight forward. The ONLY tough/annoying part is the right bolt on the alternator, the one that screws to the spring loaded "thing". You MUST pound on that bolt first so that the spring loaded "thing" recedes. I pounded on mine for a good couple of hours because it was stuck.
Disconnect the battery , remove air box (6 screws, MAF plug, and clamp to TB), remove the drive belt ( take picture of the orientation, turn the tensioner to release pressure on the belt), remove left bolt on the alternator, pound the right bolt, remove the right bolt, lift the alternator,disconnect the wiring from alternator. Assemble in reverse.
