I failed to mention I had a Duratec because I thought that tag line describing my car (99 Contour Sport SE) would show up. (I **am** a newbie to bulletin boards like this.) Sorry.

(None of the 3 bolts on my alternator is actually easy to get to, but with the wheel off, one of them is **much** easier to put a wrench on than the other two, if that helps.)
