Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!
I removed the wheel, looked down from above and put the car on ramps and checked from below. NO GO!

I called Ford and found out that they remove the entire passenger side axle to CHANGE THE FRIGGIN alternator!

I will NEVER buy a front wheel drive ANYTHING again! I like my Taurus a lot, have never had any big issues and even took a counter-clockwise spin down the 30 in Ft Worth that ended with a side impact against a guard rail with the drivers' side wheel assembly BUT..... $500 to replace an alternator! I will own rear wheel drive vehicles from now on.

Thank you for your advice but off to Ford the Taurus goes.....
