:flame: before you get flamed...i will try and step in here.....*btw it would be understandable to get flamed on this one*
:flame:
couple of questions need answered before we can procede here..
1. are you sure your alt is bad?
2. do you own any kind of repair manual or have a friend that knows anything about vehicles?
3. have you called any auto parts stores or looked on the interent *i.e. www.rockauto.com * for pricing??
this is a very simple process.....but those questions need answered..

--$120.00 + $75.00core on Parts America.com.
--It's no more difficult to change than disconnecting battery,
removing belt, and taking out bolts holding it in.
--pull it out and take it to your closest parts store and have 'em
test it (will know, for sure, if it's working)

totally agree with shorty.......
take it and get it tested......if its bad...prolly cheaper to get it at an autoparts store locally than on the net....
if you crawl under there and take a look......and well basically follow what shorty said...
you are good to go......installation is reverse of tear down...

a long screwdriver or breaker bar with "gentle" persuasion will usually pull it from it's mount without as much chance uf damage (just avoid pressure on the section full of cooling holes)

used some wd40 and a big screwdriver and it popped right out.
