Two hours total.How long and difficult would it be to change the alternator on a 95 mercury mystique?
It's really a matter of how well you work around cars. It isn't the worst job in the world. Probably take an expert mechanic 40 minutes. The back yard guy can figure an hour and a half. Be real careful and pay attention to where things were before you remove them.

On a 1984 buick skyhawk,about one hour or less.Most alternators mount the same way in different orders from top to bottom,the skyhawks was on top to keep it dry.Usually,you simply loosen the mounting bolts (one pivots,one or two others keep the tension on the belt).Then undo the electrical connections(Do not let them touch and label them to make sure you don't blow the electrical system).Work carefully and thouroly as it is difficult to undo things in tight quarters.Make sure to use jack stands if working underneath,dropping a car on your head will kill you.A rebuilt alternator will cost $50-150 depending on complexity.Make sure it goes back together as it was before,any exposed electrical can start fires.
