It's really easy, all you have to do is disconnect the battery, loosen the belt by using a box wrench on the tensioner pully (looking down bottom left, long arm, pull up and move the belt off the alternator), unbolt the 2 bold, unplug from behind and unscrew the little bolt retaining the wire, install alternator, bolt the new one in it's place and re connect the 2 wires, then put tension back on the belt.
EDIT: I just noticed it's for an 02, you own a 99. I don't know if it will work seeing as how they changed the charging thingy in 01, try looking for one that belongs to a 99-00.

Alright Guys, i've finally come across a replacement Alternator. So about the installation...
I know i have to disconnect the battery.
No idea how to loosen the Belt to get it off the pully though.. If anyone could help me with that, im sure i'd be able to just unbolt the plugs/bolts off the existing alternator and replace it?
