* Isolate the battery i.e - remove battery terminals. (Ensure you have your radio code if applicable!)
* Unplug wiring connector and undo any electrical terminals, noting which wires attach where (take a photo before you disturb anything, if your memory is not so good! =D )
* Loosen alternator securing bolts to slacken off alternator belt, remove the belt and inspect for cracking / damage, and replace if necessary.
* Remove bolts and remove alternator.
Refitting is the reverse of removal, but ensure that the tension on the alternator (and therefore the alternator belt) is good when bolting back down. The belt should not twist by more than 90 degrees either way or feel slack.
If in any doubt, take it to a professional.
