Blowing Maxi Fuse immediately...?
1st No idiots on this site.
2nd you learned a valuable lesson... "Painless" isn't
3rd welcome to the site.
As for the fuse popping. There is a dead short somewhere in that cir. Start at the fuse and work your way away from it till you find the short.
As for the wires on the alternator.
Something is not right.
Where does the black wire go to?
Is the red wire bolted to the alt housing?
This is how it should be wired ( the blue and green might be switched)
Blue would come from a switched 12v supply.
Green would come from the VR.
Large red would go from alt output terminal through maxy fuse to post on starter relay.
