Default Replacing Altenator in 98 Escort ZX2

Anyone on here done it before? My situation in that it's in an akward location: half under the Intake Mani and real tight fit. Other problem, as some of you know, I'm a Cadet at The Citadel, so I don't have a lot of time, nor money. Car is currently at my host/sponsor family's where it will stay till it gets fixed.

Thanks for the help

Get a different car, you'll be happier in the long run.. Most alternators are pretty easy though, release the belt tension and remove the mounting bolts. It might take some bloody knuckles if it's hard to get to, but most cars are pretty easy no matter where they're mounted.

Yeah, Like I was telling someone else, I could do it, it's just with the limited space, I was wondering if anyone on here has any tips/tricks. Thanks for the help
