How do you replace the alternator in the Ford Fiesta mk7?

Model: Ford Fiesta MK 7, MK VII, Fiesta 7 - Years 2017-2023
Part: Alternator

Given the importance of the alternator in cars, as it is responsible for recharging the power battery while the vehicle is in motion, if it were to break there would be no alternatives other than to disassemble it for repair or even replacement. If you want to do the work yourself without going to a workshop, you need to have fixed keys, star keys, and possibly swivel keys. It is located in the engine compartment, on the passenger side, and before removing it, it is essential to remove the belt from its seat. Once this is done, all that remains is to unscrew the locking pins located around the perimeter and pull it out of the aforementioned engine compartment.
