oh its a bitch to take off....

timing belt has to come off...
AC has to come off (from memory)
have to jack up the engine to get it out

actually i just took mine off and it is a bitch to get out...

you have to

firstly undo the alternator,
then take the alternator mount off the engine,
then drop the right suspension so you can move the cv shaft down
and then undo the right engine mount and jack the engine up a bit....

then the alternator will slip out and you will be able to get to it via the right wheel well

cheers
