I broke 2 of them. Is there any place to get them other than the dealership. And how hard is installing a new alternator? How long should I expect it to take?

 

alternator is easy.. if you're mechanically inclined, a couple hours at most..

just go to the dealer for the studs..

 

those studs suck. like 7.5lbs tq is all they need or else SNAP.

alternator is cake.

Those studs suck, I have a broken one now

You'll need a deep 10 to get it off. Either that or a 10mm wrench.
