The drive end shield in an alternator serves as a protective cover for the rotor and other internal components. It supports the bearing that allows the rotor to spin smoothly and maintains alignment within the alternator. Additionally, the drive end shield helps to contain any debris and prevents external contaminants from entering the alternator, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
the alternator will be on the end of the engine that has the drive belts or serpentine belts, alternators are belt driven.
Is to support the rotor to turn with the help of bearning at both ends
Remove auxillary belt. Steering pump removal first. 3 Allen bolts, hydraulic pipes long enough to move out of the way. Remove 2 bolts at drive end, just loosen 2 bolts at rear as they are a compression fit. Disconnect Battery and wires at alternator. Move alternator to the left and it will come out. Hardest job is removing the heat shield.
Access to the alternator is much easier if you remove the passenger side mud shield. To do that, lift the front of the vehicle, put it on jack stands or some other secure and stable blocking. Remove the passenger side front wheel, then examine the mud shield and find the pins that hold it in place. Carefully remove the pins and work the mud shield out of the fender area. With the mud shield removed you should be able to see the alternator and get to the other components at the head end of the engine. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery! If you work on the alternator with the battery connected, bad things will happen! Release the serpentine belt tensioner. Remove the bolts holding the alternator. Carefully disconnect the electrical connections to the alternator and note which wire goes to which terminal on the alternator. When replacing the alternator, just do everything in reverse order.
Not easily. You can put a new coax end on the cable though and that should solve your problem. You can do it the hard way and somehow ground the metal shield that is left on the cable as that is the main function of the shield. (but not the only)

yes you can but only until the battery goes flat either the battery or the alternator is bad drive it to a shop or you will end up broke down on the side of the road

A flattened end of the taper shank helps to drive the drill out if the holding device or chuck.
that is the heat shield on your catalytic converters rattling. very well known ford issue, can sometimes be fixed by driving self tappers into the shield and converter.
In-line engines always have the #1 cylinder closest to the belt/alternator end, furthest from the drive end/transmission end. *Unless they are made by Peugeot-Citroen,who have to be awkward and do it opposite,it must be a "French thing".
