yeah, its a fun job.  Ive done it a few times. With the right tools, its not too bad. You dont have to remove the halfshaft, but others do just to free up some room.

just replaced mine today on the 3L. Had to do some grinding on the tab of the alt to get it to slip up into the fingers that hold it in place. after that it was no problem.
I did manage to squish my hand inbetween the alt and a bolt, still hurts
