Ford Focus: alternator install ?'s

similar procedure, just a much tighter area to work in. I haven't done this
on my focus yet but from what I remember looking at mine just incase I would
ever have to change mine, it doesn't look to difficult, just a pain in the
butt.

I'm not an expert either, but with small hands how can you go wrong? It's
just plug and play. Like Microsoft only designed by intelligent people. LOL
If you screw up, just recharge your battery and drive to a garage. I know
what you mean by poor. I was once but now I am retired, I am REALLY poor.

I had mine done last summer and I watched a seasoned mechanic take 4 hours
to the job. The book called for 2 hours labor. He had to undo a motor
mount then raise and lower the car about a half dozen times to lift and
lower the motor on the passenger side. He did say that anything that could
go wrong went wrong. He had to deal with some corrosion on some of the
connections. I wish you the best of luck but it sure looked like something
I would avoid.

IT'S REALLY NOT A BIG JOB. Undo a plug, a few bolts, That's it.
Come on now guys. Don't make it seem like a major job.

wait and see if this mechanic is like a lot of them...:+)
