You have to lower the drive shaft down to get it out which is a pain in the arse. Other than that its fairly straight forward just a bit fiddly. Has yours got aircon? You dont have to change the belt though no.

Yeah you drop it down and take it out underneath the car. Only asked about aircon because theres more involved in removing the drivebelt. But you dont have to worry about that

I've replaced one on the XE and didn't need to drop a shaft, surely an x14 alternator isn't bigger?
