    An alternator swap isn't too hard, provided the alternator isn't physically located in a difficult-to-access area . Disconnect your battery wires (I usually tape off the ends just to be on the safe side), then the alternator wires. Somewhere in the belt system there will usually be a tensioner spring attached to a pulley that you can loosen to get the belt off. After that, you just unbolt the old alternator, bolt on the new one, and reverse the process.
