Question
i need help removing the alternator

Answer
Hannah,

There are only two bolts that hold the alternator to the car.  The tension on the belt is provided for with a tensioner pulley.  Once the belt has been loosened it is just a matter of removing the harness and the two bolts.  No big deal other than jacking up the car to get the passenger side wheel off and the inner fender well so you can see what it going on.
