If you have limited / no mechanical knowledge leave this to an Auto Technician.
This a relatively easy job.
Undo the alterantor lock nut (12mm ring spanner / socket wrench)
Undo the alternator adjustment bolt almost fully (Either 10mm / 12mm wrench)
Get under the car and loosen the main alterantor bolt using a 14mm wrench. Just loosen enough to move alternator, it is not to be removed.
Pull alterantor forward to slacken belt / remove belt.
Replacement is the opp of the above.
Ensure the MAX. deflection at the middle of the belt is only 12mm (1/2") after all redfitting is done.
Failure to have it this tight will wear it out very quickly!!
