It depends which engine you have 4yl zetec or the 6 duratec i have done it on the v6 a couple of times its averages me about 4.5 hours on the ground and the car jack. here is the online manual on how to do it on 4 cyl or a 6 cyl. All you need is a ratchet set, flat head screw driver, breaker bar to remove wheel nut. its pretty straight forward if you have the patience. be careful tightening bolts and nuts. i broke the tie rods as i was tightening the bolt was pretty brittle.

How do you remove alternator on 2000 cougar?

It should be the same as for a 2002 Mercury Cougar which is answered in WikiAnswer under the Question; " How to remove alternator from a 2002 Mercury Cougar 2.5L V6." The 2000 Cougar may be different by having an upper alternator BOLT. If it does, and you can't lift the bolt out (after fully loosening the bolt), lower the alternator and you can, then, lift the bolt out. When you begin to install the alternator (attach the power wire, and the wire connector) place the BOLT in the upper hole in the alternator, and THEN, raise the alternator to install.
