Yeah, I think retired mechanics should be the engineers. I just got done replacing the alternator in our 2004 Ford Escape 3.0L V6. You have to remove the passenger side drive axle and lower the front frame assembly while also jacking the engine up in order to get the alternator out. I called my friend at a local Ford dealer and he said their customer pay book time is 7.8 hours. It's ridiculous anything is made in this fashion. If I had a lift, it would have been a little easier, but rolling around on the floor on a creeper and a rolling seat really takes it out of my old butt. I'm still in recovery mode. Just because they CAN do something, doesn't mean they SHOULD.
