How do you replace the alternator on Ford Mondeo 2ltr tdci?

Answer 1

Its long job, first jack up car and place on axle stands. take the wheel off.

from the top of the engine disconnect the battery negative. disconnect the red wire going to the alternator and also the pig tail connector also.

next you will need the pulley belt tension-er tool £15.00 on ebay....locate the two round posts in the two square holes in the pulley apply force the spring will release tension pull off belt off pulley. Next undone 2 x 15mm bolts from bottom of alternator. go through wheel arch where you removed wheel. next go on top and undo 13mm bolt on top of alternator. next put alternator on top of studs on bottom. here you will need trox type socket to remove them.... the alternator wont come out otherwise. Alternator comes out through wheel arch after you disconnect outer tie rod end...use a tie rod end re leaser to undo it. install is reversal of procedure.
