Removing an alternator from a 1991 Mercury free
Disconnect the battery so you don't melt your fingers. Remove the belt by relieving the pressure at the belt tensioner. Remove the alternator wiring harness and the two or 3 long bolts that hold the alternator on. Swap for the new alternator and put it all back together.
Can I get a diagram for a removal of a alternator
Disconnect the Red battery terminal first and then loosen the serpentine belt by moving the tensioner pulley with the correct socket to permit slack enough to dislodge the serpentine belt from any pulley such as the idler pulley or other pulley. Pay close attention of how the belt is routed prior to removing. Remove electrical connections to the alternator. Remove all alternator mounting bolts to remove the alternator. I would recommend a Haynes manual from the parts store on your vehicle. I will help you now and well into the future with all problems that may occur. Be sure you have a fully charged battery at all times as a low battery will cause the internal voltage regulator to over heat and burn up due to the need for more amperage than the alternator can generate.
Trunk light doesnt work
If the lamp is good for sure, the socket has a switch in it that turns on when the lid is up.
How do I fix a loose shifter
If the shifter is very sloppy, making it hard to find the gears, bushings in the shift rod have gone bad. Buy shift rod bushings from NAPA, like $1.50 each, you need 4. Get under the car, and see the bolts holding the rod in place, one under the shifter, one near the transmission. Remove those bolts, install the bushings, 2 on each bolt, put it back together, and you should be good to go.

How to remove core support or header panel?
WOW i'm hoping its just the hood alignment but here is your answer you asked for... first DONT REMOVE IT!!! if the cross support is bent when you take it off the rest of the body will 'spring' out of shape because it will no longer be hooked to other side and after you straightened the piece it WONT bolt back up. Having said that here is what you need to do... it may sound a little crazy but i have done it many times in the past and will do it again i'm sure. looking at the car one area(more than everything else) will be bent from the impact down, left, right... by looking at it you will see "if i pulled out on this one area everthing else would 'spring' back into place" well kinda... and that is what you do... you will need a long, heavy duty, chain. at the impact point wrap chain around the piece of the thick gauge, heavy duty metal that is bent. wrap other end around a good size tree then back car up until most of the slack is out of chain... then put car in reverse and give a little gas. the car will go back and jolt to a stop get out look see if it pulled it out any if some do it again a little harder. keep repeting these steps until it is close to normal. this will relieve tenssion. then if you need to you can think about removing cross support. Also while tension is on chain hit damaged area with a Large hammer this will help to re aligne bent support and you may have to take anything that get damage off or loosen that part up and move out of the way... Good-Luck
