quite easy,there a long bolt that goes through underneath of alternator both nut and bolt are 13mm. when that is out you need to remove wires from alternator, theyre 13mm and 8mm, then there is one 13mm nut on the adjuster arm.

I must admit, changing the alternator when the engine was in the car was a pain, had problsm getting it out between the driveshaft and the bottom of the bulkhead, took some twisting, turning and pulling, but got there in the end, wont come out from the top iirc.

to change the bottum pully youl have to turn the engine over by hand. allen or star key bolts i think which if they are the originals can round off easily so wud recomend replacing. if you need to get the crank bolt out then youl need a compressor for definate.
