Take the pully above the alternator off to loosen the alternator bracket. Just loosen the braket, don't take it off. By loosening the bracket, the alternator is easier to take out and put back in. Undo the ground wire and be very gentle with the top wire when removing the alternator. I would wiggle the alternator a little to get it in position to pull that one wire terminal off.

There are 3 15mm bolts for the alternator bracket as well as a 13mm bolt on the back top side of the alternator. Also take off the idler pulley with a 15mm socket. Be careful taking the connector on top of the alternator off, its easy to rip the wire out.
