1998 Ford Escort 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

How do you change and alternator in a Ford Escort Sport 1998?
Our car is losing power and then dies. I then have to charge battery to get it started again. It is a new battery so I know it's not that. Please advise.

Removal & Installation Disconnect negative battery cable. Disengage drive belt from pulley. Remove power steering hose bracket from generator bracket. Remove generator mounting bolts. Remove generator. Disconnect wiring from generator. To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten lower generator bolt to 15-22 ft. lbs. (20-30 N.m). Tighten upper generator bolt to 29-44 ft. lbs. (40-55 N.m). good luck
