For 1.6 crdi it goes something like this.

1. Disconnect negative battery terminal
2. Remove engine cover
3. Loosen up / take out alternator belt.
4. Remove electric connection from alternator
5. Remove the 2 bolts that hold alternator. Not sure if to top bolt could be let in and lift the alternator out. For me it was easier to get alternator out by removing both bolts as it is not the most comfortable position to work.
