Rich watt, looks like a big job :"
Disconnect the battery
Remove the engine heat shield
remove the engine heat shield attaching bolts
Remove the upper generator nut
Remove the generator heat shield top nut
Raise and support the vehicle
Remove the screws and the accessory drive splash shield
Release the accessory drive belt tension and remove the belt from the generator pulley
Remove the generator heat shield lower nut and the heat shield
Release the two air intake tube retainers and remove the air intake tube assembly
Remove and discard the generator B+ cable nut and disconnect the B+ cable. The generator B+ cable nut must be replaced whenever it has been removed from the generator
Lower the vehicle
Disconnect the generator electrical connector
Remove the upper generator nut
Raise and support the vehicle
Remove the engine restrictor mount bolt
This step will require an assistant. Position the engine forward and remover the generator
Also, check on here and here as well for a more visual aid. Hope this helps, good luck.

Very helpful. It's a shame Ford made these cars with the ability to fix easy things easily, and mildly easy things impossible.
My Altima is impossible to replace a headlight, but i could probably replace the entire engine with the same amount of time.
Meanwhile, I can change a headlight in my fiance's focus in like 5 min, but replacing the alternator would take a week.

If you have the 2005 ZX4 automatic with duratech engine drop the alernator out through the bottom. Unbolt passenger side motor mount and rear motor mount. Slide engine forward and raise it to create clearance. I spent hours trying other methods. I was able to find and remove all 3 bolts from under the car.
