[QUOTE="BLK_03, post: 2222021, member: 10256"] Ok, so my alternator just went south. I am at 37K , so Ford told my to stick it. Lower pulley has been on with stock alt. pulley for about 6K. Upon my search for a good replacement alternator, I found many people asking how to remove the alternator. So here it is... BTW, I'm replacing with a PA performance unit... First remove the belt. I next placed the car on jackstands, to have good access to the bottom of the car. Next, remove the 8mm, battery retaining bolt. [ATTACH=full]1276282[/ATTACH] Lift and remove the battery, leaving you access to the tray. Remove the other 8mm bolts and remove the tray. This will leave you with plenty of access to the top of the alt. [ATTACH=full]1276283[/ATTACH] Now unbolt the 15mm alt. retaining bolt. [ATTACH=full]1276284[/ATTACH] From the bottom locate the two wiring harnesses. One unclips, one unbolts after removing the protective rubber boot. [ATTACH=full]1276285[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1276286[/ATTACH] Next you will have to create room for the alternator to move. This is accomplished by removing one bolt, and loosening one bolt from the alternator bracket. Loosen the one on top: (this is tricky as there is not much room) [ATTACH=full]1276287[/ATTACH] And remove the one on the bottom (don't lose the Metco spacer) [ATTACH=full]1276288[/ATTACH] Now the alt. can be set free. Using a long object and a hammer, tap the alternator DOWN, and toward the PASSENGER side of the car. [ATTACH=full]1276289[/ATTACH] Should look like this... [ATTACH=full]1276290[/ATTACH] Now from the bottom, wiggle/dance the alternator out of the car. I found the easiest way was to walk the alt. toward the oil filter. I messed with it for a while and once I moved the alt. toward the back of the car, it came right out by the oil filter... One last shot showing the new Metco compensating pulley, against the stock alt. pulley. [ATTACH=full]1276291[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
