What is your question? If it is "How do I replace the alternator on my....." then the standard steps are 1. Disconnect the battery. 2. Unplug the alternator electrical connector. 3. Remove the serpentine belt by rotating the tensioner to create sufficient slack in the belt. 4. loosen and remove the mounting hardware. The put the new alternator in place and reverse this process (hardware, belt, electrical connector, battery).
