Probably the easiest alternator I've ever fitted, thanks to Ford putting some effort into the method of fixing the alternator to the block.

To fit alternator: (see photos).
1: Disconnect the battery.
2: Unscrew bolts 3-6 and remove top bracket.
3: Disconnect connector plug & main battery lead (10mm nut).
4: Loosen 10mm bolts 1 & 2 approx 5-10mm, this will allow the alternator to lean forward and loosen the drive belt.
5: Using a 3/8" drive ratchet insert it into the tensioner and apply a clockwise pressure to release the belt.
6: Pop the belt off the alternator wheel and lift the alternator off in an upward direction.
7: Reverse proceedure to refit new alternator.
