2005 Fiesta ST150 has screaming alternator bearings. Two problems, one the alternator is expensive, two access is terrible. I cannot see how to get the thing out without removing the engine, advice needed please?

Remove the bottom gearbox mount
And remove the o/s drive shaft
Disconnect the cat/down pipe flange to give more movement
It's tight but you don't need to remove the engine
