What they don't tell you is to remove upper passenger side engine mount.

How does one do that, is it fairly easy?

Wow. I think it took about six minutes to replace an alternator on my 1967 VW

Forgot to mention the most important part REMOVE WHOLE ENGINE MOUNT and reservoir

@robertsmith9756 2 ай бұрын

Just dismount reservoir and swing over towards drivers side and secure with bungee, no need to remove hoses.

Why Haynes manual sux. My Escape alternator is at the bottom of the engine. You need to remove the axle to get to it.

@chuckskirko6291 Жыл бұрын

I have a 2001 Ford Escape and this is not at all where the alternator is placed. You have to remove the right front axle or remove the motor completely

@toylips Жыл бұрын

Yes. Same for my 2007. It's on the very bottom back of the engine. You have to disassemble and remove the drive axle on the right side. I still can't get to the top mounting bolt...

Doesn't apply to 2004 models with 3.0l V6 engine. Alternator is on bottom near firewall.

@tobylmiller 8 ай бұрын

YES... I do believe they need to adjust the title to reflect the correct applicable model years. I'm getting ready to replace mine... might as well replace the CV joints while I'm at it.

Think it is correct for 1.5,1.6! Working on a 2.0 and will share all I uncovered.

@cgonedfishing Жыл бұрын

2.0 alternator is lower, does not seem to go up to get out. I am at a stand still due to one bolt behind the a/c compressor. Once that is out I am going to try and bring it out the inner tire well on passenger side. A/C compressor is loose but man there is not much room for sockets, wish I had stubby box wrenches.

This video is the wrong information, noticed the alternator is on top, Ford Escape have the alternator on the button passenger side, DO NOT FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTIONS!
