write down how the belt is currently installed loosen the tensioner with a 15 mm socket it is the last pulley on the far bottom left you must remove the passenger wheel and splash guard to get to this pulley after you loosen the pulley pull the belt off put on the new one in the same order i go over the alternator last usually make sure the belt is on all pulleys tight and off you go it is easier to get the belt on with 2 people time .5 - 1 hour
Loosen the shifter cable not on each end of the shifter cable. The shifter cable will come off. Reverse the process to install the new shifter cable.
Zetec-E engine: (located passenge side of engine compartment, below power steering reservoir) Remove securing bolt for coolant expansion tank, lift expansion tank out of clip and move to side. Remove drive belt. Lift power steering reservoir from retaining bracket and move to one side. Unscrew securing bolt from wiring loom bracket and move to one side (disconnect multi-plug). Remove the bolt from power steering reservoir bracket to release ground cable --- Carefully bend the ground bracket down (aid in removal of alternator). Remove the two retaining bolts from the canister purge valve and move to one side. Remove the plastic cover, unscrew the nut and disconnect the wiring from the back of the alternator. Unscrew and remove the bolt nearest the engine. Unscrew the other retaining bolt until it is fully disengaged from the threads (will not be possible to remove bolt from alternator until after alternator has been removed). INSTALL: put this bolt in new alternator before lowering alternator into position. Installation is reverse of removal procedure (Don't forget to carefully bend ground bracket back to original position).
2.0L SPI engine: (located: passenge side of engine compartment, possibly below power steering pump, follow drive belt) Remove the bolts holding the power steering pipe brackets to the exhaust manifold and set the pipe to one side. Remove the exhaust manifold heat shield. Remove the drive belt. Remove the plastic cover, unscrew the nut and disconnect the wiring from the alternator. Unscrew the alternator mounting bolts and lift alternator from the engine. If this does not help see similar question/answer from four months ago.

SIMILAR QUESTION:
My boyfriend has a 2002 Ford Focus. He is trying to replace the alternator. He has it unscrewed and everything but it just won't come out. The book he has on the car isn't any help.
So, how can he get the old one out of his car? * 4 months ago
Ford Girl answer to similar question.
On this particular car, you need to support the bottom of the engine, and remove the engine mount to enable access to it. If it has the 2.0L DOHC Zetec engine, you will need to raise to engine slightly and tilt the engine forward (toward the front of the car), in order to gain the necessary clearance for removal.
On the 2.0L SPI engine you'll need to tilt the engine rearward (toward to back of the car) to get the alternator out. The sizes of the fasteners to remove are three 15mm bolts on the body, and two 18mm nuts on the engine. MAKE SURE THE ENGINE IS SUPPORTED BEFORE YOU REMOVE THEM. Hope this helps.
I have an 2003 Focus 2.0L SPI and I did not tilt the engine rearward to get the alternator out. I removed the power steering pump and the radiator fan. This is far easier than tilting the engine... I'm not sure why anyone would suggest this. Maybe necessary for some models, but I'd unbolt stuff all day before messing with tilting the engine.
It depends on who is responding to the question. It also matters if you are filling up the cup, or drinking it.
An optimist, focusing on what he or she has, observes what is in the glass - the full half. A pessimist, on the other hand, focuses on what is missing, what he or she doesn't have - the empty half.
It is always full. It may be filled with 50% of water and 50% of air, or any variation of competing percentages, but it is always full of something even if it looks empty as it could be FULL of air.
It's completely empty until you put something in it.
The cup is half full. A glass can't be half empty because half of nothing is still nothing
If you pour water into a cup until its filled half way, the cup of water is half full.
If you fill a cup of water completely, then empty half of the water, the cup is half empty.
If I told you I poisoned the water in the cup, would it matter if it's half full or half empty?
The cup is not half full or half empty. The cup may be 1/8 off of being half full/empty, but it would take mad skill to get the cup exactly half full/empty. I suggest you do not ask a question, but rather a statement, like, "The cup is 1/4 filled." or "The cup is 3/4 filled." I assume you noticed I said "Filled" instead of "Full" or "Empty". But, since there is the one in a million chance that one of us has some crazy awesome mad skill, I guess you should ask "Does the pot have half of the pasta it can hold?" but add "And you can't say if it's filled!". So, the cup is half filled.
My Haynes manual says that the "96 turn signal/hazard flasher is plugged into the "convenience center" which is mounted at the top of the left kick panel. FriPilot
The loud buzzing noise you hear from under the hood when you turn the key to start the vehicle usually means the battery is too low to crank the engine or a loose cable. Some auto parts stores will test the battery free of charge.
spray wd40 on all electrics inc inside distributor cap plugs and ht leads , if no luck get a tin of cold start and spray directly into engone intake , check also foe water in fuel if damp this usually works
the most common cause by far is the coil pack, its easy to change and a fairly cheap component - its certainly worth a try if the management light isn't on. if you want to be sure have the ecu fault code read as other possible causes are cam and crank shaft sensors. good luck.
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the mass of the air entering the engine. Because air mass varies with air temperature (cold air is denser than warm air), measuring air mass provides the PCM with a very acurate way of determining the correct amount of fuel to obtain the ideal fuel/air mixture. - Haynes Repair Manual #36071
Remove the wneels then the drum retainer that holds the drum on while it is on the assy line. Then pull the drums off. If the shoes have worn into the drums you have to retract the shoes to let the drums come off. If they are sticking on the center, sometimes heat is required to get them loose.
how do you remove the stock radio from a 2000 ford focus zx3
Go to walmart in the car stereo section. In there, there are these packs of 2 U-shaped metal rods. If you buy theses, stick them in the correct holes in the radio then it will pop right out.
The question you ask is too involved for a proper answer. You need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.

Yes, no problem. Just change your oil and filter every 3000 miles religiously.
According to a Hyundai tech bulletin issued Jan 2006, service manuals were published wrong. They show the fuel filter above the tank. It is actually integrated with the fuel pump in the the tank. The pump can be accessed rather easily through the access panel below the back seat. The filter is in the pump mechanism that is lifted out. I have done this, but have not disassembled the pump. I was given the wrong filter by the auto parts store and have seen improper listings for filters online as well.
Ford cars have always had very poor tolerances, they are smokers. not very reliable at all.
If its a stock radio u can search for the channel you want then hold down the number setting, (ie. 1-5) you want it set to until it sets it. If its the clock you might need the tune button to change it while holding in the clock button.
My jeep has the same problem (1998 xj) and a mechanic told me that you have to remove the tranmission pan to get to it, its up inside the transmission and if your goin to rep[lace it you might as well change your filter while your at it.
The fine focus knob is used to bring an object into fine focus, while the course focus knob is used to bring an object into approximate focus. The course focus knob should only be used on the low-power and scanning objectives of the light microscope. Using it on the high power microscope is okay, but you should be very careful. It is no recommended to use the course adjustment knob on the oil-emersion objective as it is so close to the stage and could lead to a potential break in the slide. Fine focus adjustment knob is useful to bring out the fine details in the specimen on your slide. Can be used on any of the objectives, but most receptive on the high-power and oil-emersion objectives.
