I want to make a correction for this DIY for anyone in the future. If you follow the steps per the op (which his diy was a great help), on step E where he states to take off the 2 pin electrical connector first, is pretty much impossible if your car is older, as the clip is stuck on their pretty good. I would wiggle the alternator out FIRST (it took a great deal effort as it finally came out, using a long flat head screw driver) then take off the electrical connector and the B+ cable.

Also, the two alternators bolts are 16mm and the B+ nut is a 17mm
