Q: How to remove and install an alternator on Mercury Grand Marquis?
A: Detach the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Unplug the electrical connectors from the alternator and mark each connector before unplugging them. Loosen the alternator bolts and separate the bracket from the intake manifold. Remove the drivebelt and, on 4.6L engines, the ignition wire assembly from the intake manifold area. Remove the adjustment and pivot bolts to separate the alternator from the engine. Installation is the reverse of removal. After the alternator is installed, adjust the drivebelt tension.
