I had a 96 ford probe (free car) and to change the alternator I had to lower the motor, remove the strut, pull the drive axle, and cut a little bit of the inner fender. 7 hours to put in a $50 alternator! PIA!

I love the old trucks because there are NO computers or sensors and if you want to you can sit in the engine bay to work on it.
