You can get great how to info on the Internet if you have the tools and are mechanically inclined. Changing the alternator is not hard. BUT... take it to the auto parts place and make sure it's bad before you spend the dough.

The only way to know for sure is to see mechanic, just look for one in the yellow pages. You can find one that will not charge you for diagnostic or atleast get an inspection for about 50. Its not worth guessing or letting people here give you bad advice.

go to the auto parts store, tell them what kind of car you have, (they have books to find out what kind of alternator) then disconnect the battery, take out the old one, pop in the new one.
