I can't give you specifics on changing that alternator, but, I don't think it will be too difficult. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you EVER disconnect the battery on a running engine. The alternator puts out 17 or so volts and if it's working it will fry your ignition system. Way back before electronic ignitions you could do this to check an alternator, but NOT now.
