Thread moved, please do not post the same thing multiple times. As for the alternator replacement...

unplug the alternator, release tension on the belt (small nut underneath the alternator), unbolt the alt from the lift bracket (on the top) and the tensioner (on the bottom, by the small nut). very simple, you will need 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm wrenches and sockets i think. its pretty simple.

only one way to learn, do it yourself.

It really isnt that hard...

go look at the alternator.. very simple to take off.

Easier than changing a tire... fewer bolts.

Its soo easy to do, Ive done it about 6 days ago and it took about 10-15 mins to do.
