the second is a small plastic grey plug that is VERY fragile. use your small flathead to lift up on the tab that is recessed below the surface level of the alternator, and then slide the clip off, as well..
The third is held on with a bolt (7mm, IIRC) THIS is why you removed the positive battery terminal.. huge sparks and fuses blown if you didn't.
I thought this pic might be helpful, by the way... its a 10mm nut.

I'm needing help with the top alternator bolt. the 4ft extension thing doesn't make sense to me cause i cannot see the top bolt from the drivers side wheel well. the splash shield is removed. i need help now. i only have a few hours.

You should be on the passenger's side.

i used to take a 2' extension with a swivel on the end, and remove the coil pack, and go in from there. worked pretty good for me.

For the top alt. bolt, I removed the coil-pack and went from the top, as well.

it can be removed from underneath too.
i didnt go from the top or the drivers side to remove any bolts/nuts when i replaced the alternator.
