  Q: How to service the alternator on Ford Five Hundred?

  A: Unplug the battery from your vehicle first after setting it in NEUTRAL on a hoist. You should rotate the accessory Drive Belt tensioner counterwise before placing the accessory drive belt to the side. Transport the vehicle into NEUTRAL position on a hoist while disabling the battery power. Then remove the 8 pin-typed retainers followed by the right lower splash shield. The first order is to detach the Crankshaft Position Sensor and free up the 2 wiring harness locators from the generator splash shield. Start by taking off the pin-type retainer from the generator boot. After folding the boot upwards you should disconnect the generator electrical connector. After folding the boot, position the protective cover to the side then remove the generator B+ nut and terminal before reinstallation with 8 Nm (71 lb-in). The generator studs and nuts can be subsituted with 3 bolts offered as part of W709986-S437. During installation remove the 3 generator nuts and stud bolts then tighten generator stud bolts to 8 Nm (71 lb-in) while tightening new generator bolts or nuts to 47 Nm (35 lb-ft). The installation process ends with the removal of the generator along with its shield and a backward execution of the original removal steps.
