R52S / R53 MINI Cooper S ~ Parking Lot Alternator replacement

Today I replace an alternator in a 2006 Supercharged R52 (MINI Convertible). I drove out to Virginia Beach to replace it for a college student in the back area of a parking lot. All-in-all the job took about 2 hours because I was talking to various students passing by. This particular MINI also needs at least one strut bearing, but that will have to be done at another time.
