Answer
You have to remove the whole primary drive to get to the alternator.  I don't recommend it if you haven't done it before.  Check the AC voltage across your alt. plug terminals.  It should be around 40 volts AC at 2000 rpm.  Also check to see if either terminal is grounded.  That happens more often.
