there are two bots that hold the alternator to the block, they are E14 torx and 15mm or 16mm nuts on the other.

on the back of the alternator there are a couple of electrical connections, they are secured by 10mm and 8 mm nuts

i have never stripped one down so i can't go any further than that sorry

Had mine off at the weekend.
As Jay said E14's on one side, I believe mine had 5/8" on the other side.
Disconnect the battery
Remove the aux belt( in the how2's)
Remove the torx bolts ( a bit easier from underneath)
wiggle it like mad to release it. a long flat screwdriver was handy to help move it
disconnect the cables.

I think the torque for the bolts to reassemble was 30nm
hope this helps
