You will need to rent or borrow the tool that releases tension on the serpentine belt.Start by removing the black - battery cable. Then it's just a matter of removing the bolts holding the alternator on the engine. After the alternator is loose, remove the red wire from the alternator.

SOURCE: 94 buick regal grand sport

sounds like the same thing that was wrong with the 94 GS i recently bought. found the crankshaft postion sensor to be bad. it controls your electronic spark timing which would allow it to turn over with out starting.
also does your stall when you are stopped and at idle or while at driving speed or both? mine would stall at idle and driving speeds. Changed that sensor and have not had any more issues with stalling. sensor should cost around $30-$40 dollars at your local autozone, takes about 2 hours to change just need to pull the harmonic balancer pulley (make sure to use the proper tool or you will bend the pulley) and the sensor is behind the pulley. you will gain easier access to doing the maintenace buy removing the passenger front tire and the little splash gaurd directly behind the tire held on by 3 quick release fasteners. hope this helps you out.

1988 buick regal stalls and restarts stalls and restarts

Sounds like a relay or coil failing.
To proceed you would need to find out if you are loosing spark to the plugs or fuel pressure to the injectors when it won't start.

How do i get the serpentine belt back on after i replaced the alternator on my 1988 buick regal?

On your engine...guessing you have the 2.8L, find your tensioner and put a socket and ratchet or breaker bar on it and rotate it a little or as much as you need to slip the belt back on. It should look like this:
