The steering wheel stays on. Dismantle the steering column shroud. Use a Torx 15 screwdriver and undo the three screws from the bottom of the shroud. It should come apart in two pieces, top and bottom. You now can access the ignition switch on the right side of the steering column where you insert the key.

SOURCE: How to change an alternator?
I don't know if you have the job done since your posting. It's a very easy job. I did replace mine few days ago. Let's say 30 minutes job with right tools and an inside work area. 1- disconnect battery terminals 2-remove the air filter assembly giving more room to work. 3- disconnect the wire connection to the back of the alternator 4- using a wrench key (14 or 15 milimiter dont remember) release the tension on the strap swinging the bender wheel (located at your left) to the right. Maintaining the binding wheel at this position get the strap out of the alternator pulley. Try to keep the strap in place on all the other pulleys and rollers to save you reinstall work. 5- Unscrew and remove the 3 bolts retaining the alternator (14 or 15 milimeters ?) remove and replace the alternator. Maybe you will have to use a prybar to get it out of its seat. 6- Do the reverse step by step to complete the job. Just make sure that the strap is sitting properly over the pulleys and rollers. Once complete, start the engine and check if everything is in line in regard to the strap. If the alternator was really the root cause of your problem now the meter in your dash should indicate between 13.5 and 14 volts with all the demand turned on ( front beam, defrost, heater fan, wiper). Within these bondaries you're in business. Good luck Sorry for my poor english language. Dan
