had a quick question.. my friend has an 87' 5.0 and needs to install a new alternator. he told me theres a belt that he took off to get the old alternator out and now he doesnt feel like he knows how to replace it. can someone please show me a link to a DIY if there is one. i would really appreciate it, thanks in advance.
disconnect battery loosen tensioner to get belt off disconnect wiring harness from alternator unbolt alternator bolt up new alternator reconnect wiring harness loosen tensioner again to install belt (nice time to get a new belt too if its getting old) reconnect battery take it for a spin
i own an audi and have never been under the hood of a mustang. is it as self explanatory to replace the belt as you say it is? my friend makes it seem like its the ****ing end all be all of belts and is all intimidated by it. thanks for your help so fast by the way.
