These are from a 2.6 which will be the same as a 3.2.

I doubt one from an I6 will be the same...

Or just fit a second hand one from a 2.5/3.0 as they are a direct fit and generaly more reliable.

Whats more, the regs are cheaper for them so much more maintainable.

... izit hard to replace an alternator??

Easy enough on a v6 innit, just two bolts and the wiring harness to undo, you also need to remove the air intake system too.
Be sure to locate the top mounting properly on refitting.
