[QUOTE="flaboy?, post: 423115, member: 5749"] I have done a lot of Ford alternators but never on a 2000 Ranger. If it is like most it will have a big honkering cast bracket. There should a long bolt that goes all the way through this from front to back. There will also be a short on towards the top and in the front. The long and short have to come out. The alternator gets removed from the bracket. The bracket will stay in place. If it is the other style there are three bolts holding the alternator in place. Loosen these and slip the altenator out from under the belt. I find this easier than letting the tension off of the belt saves the pain of setting it back up. Install in the reverse of this. Make sure you remove the battery cable. It is possible to blow up your ECU if you spark the cables when removing them from the alternator. [/QUOTE]
