Belt is rubbing on my 2002 ford Taurus alternator

SOURCE: Replacement Procedure for 2006 Ford Taurus Alternator

You will need a long 15 mm wrench for the belt tensioner. Pull the wrench to the front of the car very hard to make the tensioner move. Remove the belt from the idler pulley below the alternator. Remove the 15mm bolt on the right side of the alternator (looking at the pulley on the alternator). Remove the 13mm bolt on the support bracket and the support bracket from the alternator to the bracket. Disconnect the electrical connector and the battery cable at the alternator and remove the alternator. Install in reverse order. I hope this has been helpful. Please leave a good rating.

Here is the belt routing for the V6 Taurus. Basically the belt zig zags between adjacent pulleys, the back of the belt on the smooth pulleys and the inside on the grooved ones. Tension the belt so that you can twist the belt 90 deg on its longest run without too much force. Hopefully this helps you.
