Frank, Thanks for 2018 Accord alternator replace. You the man! BUT, the aluminum engine mount will not come off. See 7 minutes 55 seconds. That pointed bolt is binding on the aluminum bracket. What should I do?
His video is for 2.0t. Watch out folks this is not easy. If you attempt it, be VERY careful about the jack on engine. It has to be neutral. When you loosen engine mount, it can move and make it hard to line up bolts when putting back together. He makes it look easy because he is good. If you are backyard mechanic, be careful. I could not get the mount lose to take off. It "bound" up. I could not continue. The alternator is on the bottom of engine almost impossible to reach. Rubber boot covering positive post must be taken off then unscrewed on 2.0t. I have lots of experience but gave up. Be careful guys. My man is really good and made it look easy. I can't believe the impossible location of the alternator! This TH-cam is the only place with instructions for 2.oT 2018 to ¿2021¿.

@@RBTheMechanicwhat about at 33k? I have a2019 Honda accord and it stopped starting, lost all power. I replaced the battery and it still won’t start. I had to jump it to get power going and when I try to start the car it just whines
Yeah bro but I can do it urself I did this way cuz I wanted to first time but u can feel the bolts from bottom not need to take off mount and all as long as u can feel the bolts and get to it
I have a 1997 Toyota Corolla with 200,000 miles still has the original alternator.These car parts today are all crap weather the car is foreign or domestic they’re all built with crappy parts,so that you have to keep bringing it to the stealer for repairs.
Now days parts r garbage I though about quitting mechanic just because I had 4 alternator failed 10 starters put in sensor bad. Put in maf sensor told customer bad engine and new engine didn’t start now I o for engine and it was defective maf sensor
Fakk ima just take it to the dealer 🤦 I’m not doing all that 🙅 that gave me flash backs of my ford focus days and I’d rather be broke then do that again.🫡 thanks for the video!
From the bottom u can reach the bolts but u can see it’s feel and touch I find this bullshit design tomorrow I’m doing turbo on one of these FML idk y I accepted it with bad back

Is it possible to replace the alternator on a Honda Accord underneath the car instead of from the top?
U can work the bolts from bottom both bolts and then tilt the alternator to remove wiring connector and 12mm main bolt but it has to come up
But I found removing mount made it easy very easy for me I didn’t mind 10 minutes to take out the mihnt
I put a 290A alternator but the voltage don't stay at 14.4

About how long did this take you? Tempted to get it done by a local shop.
3 hours
@@RBTheMechanicdefinitely a shop ting but great video
Can the alternator go bad at 50k?
Yes it can

@@TrevorPuckett-t6n might have bad alternator
Next time just take battery out and battery pan comes out was easy then dropping motor mount
So changing an alternator is over a grand ?

The mount or bracket doesn't have to be removed
James mine is 2018 Accord 2.0T. The alternator is not in front. Go to about 8 minute mark. You have to take engine mount off.

“Just take this off” “just take this off” “just take this off” okay bro my whole engine is apart now I can change the alternator ?
Yes!!! Call honda and ask them why lol
Why not do it from the bottom of the car instead?
No space from bottom

Huh? English on bro

Bigger engine always harder to work on.
You stripped that bolt on the engine mount, that is some crappy work!
Don’t think so it good we did more work on the car
