Thank you. Places I've called quoted me 3-8 hours for labor. I got the part for under a hundred dollars and fixed it in under three hours following along with you. I appreciate you taking the time to show how it's done. And don't worry about not getting the right camera angles. Whoever designed this engine must have a side gig as torturer in Hell. Thank you again! Saved me $500!

Very glad to hear that! Thank you for watching!

Good work! Now I see what my day will be like on my '10 Escape 2.5L. And buying
E8 e-torx socket. Thanks for making this video.

Is that a star nut? 10:45 Nevemind, done with my alternator swap out... Did not need to unscrew studs however I found a 1/4 in socket can do the job....Also metric sockets, wrenches were slim to none...had to use adjustable for the 15mm on the bottom...I would have gotten stuck on the top 13mm connector if I did not have my 13mm socket. Ordering a set of metric wrenches today. Thanks so much for your help! I wiggled a screw driver at the slot tab where the clip engages to get the fan nozzle thingy off...light pressure so as not puncture the plastic....

Great Video. Thanks for sharing with us.

Good video. What's the point of the air dam/cover? Does it direct wind to help cool it down or something? This is the first time I've seen an alternator cover like that.

[@Andys_Auto]

Yes it keeps the alternator cool

[@revdrshad]

@@Andys_Auto Cool. Thanks for the reply.
Stay safe out there, man.
