definitely be careful with the vacuum hoses. i put my alternator on my old zetec (pain in the ass) and didnt realize i knocked one off. took me a while to find out that thats what it was. the hardest part for some reason was getting the belt tensioner to loosen.

longest part was running my dead alt to napa to trade them for the new one.

Ive pulled that thing so many times that each time i do it, i find something new and easier. the car has been torn down plenty of times to work on the timing system, and its one of the thinsg that has to be removed. But the alternator finaly took a crap on me so we got a brand new shiny one now to!! this is a all to familiar site

It looks like a few pictures are mis-linked. Any chance of getting those corrected?

Did my first alt. replacement for a CEGer this weekend. My tip: Get about 4' of extensions yes 48". Remove the driver side splash shield. Run it all the way through to the top alt. bolt. (Won't work on a car w/ headers). On a car with headers for the top bolt I removed the coil pack/plug wires & 2 harness nuts. Moved the harness out of the way. I then used a 13mm socket, 3" extension, u-joint and 18" in extensions to angle it up to the engine area to get a 1/2" rachet on it. For the center bracket I able to get my hands in there and use a 10mm gear wrench. You can also use extensions. Just need to remove the one attached to the bracket. You can remove the entire L bracket when the alt. is out. On the bottom I was able to use 12" of extensions and a 1/2" drive to get that one out. For the 2nd/middle clip on the alt. I used a pick similar to the one pictured here on the far right. The 10mm bolt/megafuse connection I used a 10mm gear wrench and for the top clipped connection I just used a long flat head and popped it off. I can probably do a swap in about an hour now. Stop making it sound so hard.
