Followed this video on the alternator and how to remove serpentine belt on for my Toyota 2005 Camry took me about 45 mins start to finish. Very well made video. Thank you saved me a lot of money.
Thomas mccoy 👍😊
This is the most in depth alternator removal I’ve been seen. Even showing how to remove it clip instead of just saying to remove them. Amazing!! 3 mechanics, including one that I bought the special tool to loosen the belt off pulley could not do this without unbolting so many things or stretching my belt with a screwdriver. I never trust anyone except myself unless I absolutely need to. Thank you for affirming me that I can easily do this
👍😊
Have you changed out your alternator? Was it easy?
@@proclaimliberty2000 My dad and I are in the process as I type removing the alternator from a 2002 Toyota sienna it’s not easy
@@AlexAndra-iy5zu the alternator is the very easy part… it’s getting on the belt that’s near impossible unless you have the special tool for it …especially if it’s a new belt. They don’t like to stretch. Proper Toyota belt tool makes it’s doable tho
@@Print2shoot thank God my son came to my rescue. He’s replace the alternator, oil change, transmission flush, feel injectors, air filter and Spark plugs.
So I get to sit on TH-cam and watch my son do the work lol
The hardest part of the job is putting the bottom bolt back in. Any tricks with that would be the most helpful.
Go from the bottom
Gidday bro. I looked at your instructions and followed each step. Taking the off belt of was a tad of a trial but eventually got it off...then the old alternator. Not too much drama. New alternator on. Putting the new belt on..what a Mission!!!😢. A mechanic friends responded to my request for help. He put the 19mm with the pipe extension on the tensioner from UNDERNEATH the car. Five minutes and we were done. 😊.
Cheers. Martin
thank you paul. I watched your serpentine video and this video and they were EXCELLENT!! it only took me 40 min to take my alt off and put the new one back on. start to finish.
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped you.

Your video is helping motivate me to custom fabricate a large case hairpin in place of the small unit. I am a ford mechanic by trade, and can appreciate the thorough advice for the novice. I hate when see all the broken stuff from previous repairs. I've broken some myself over the years, but only on old vehicles where the plastic has been baked and brittle. I can still count on one hand have many I have broke in 10+ years. It really isn't that hard. I can appreciate your skill in conveying that to your audience.
Anyway, I'm about to make 200 + amps at dead idle about this time tomorrow, 270a+ at 1800 rpm thanks to your detailed video. I needed to see the bottom bracket to confirm fitment of a large case hairpin that is much more capable than the stock unit, and it indeed will work, easy peasy.
BIG thanks for the shortcut, I got to confirm the easy way after watching about half a dozen other videos on it. This one shows the upper and lower mounts empty, which is EXACTLY what I needed to see. Now I can be a lazy mechanic for the rest of tonight until I feel frisky tomorrow.
👍😊
Appreciate the thorough and detailed steps, all much needed for first time mechanics like myself.
Brett Salter 👍😊
Thank you so much for this video, gave me the confidence to replace my alternator and saved hundreds of dollars in the process. Keep up the great work
👍😃
I definitely would have broken the electrical connections. Thanks for doing a great job of explaining how to take them off!
Chris Lockwood 👍😊
Just a heads up, although it may appear that mechanics are "too rough" with the connections (granted at times there definitely are horrible mechanics that don't care), you should keep in mind Toyota used really cheap plastic for the connections- which over time (with heat and different environmental conditions), will end up being extremely fragile and can break with the slightest pinch to remove. General rule of thumb is to simply be as careful as you can when handling connections on an engine.
I really appreciate how much you emphasized your steps...you sir are an excellent instructor. Thank you good sir!
Moises De Dios 👍😊
One suggestion for the lower bolt. Use a 1/2" wrench or breaker bar with a 6-point socket, NOT a 12 point! Toyota installs these really tight and the 12 points can round over the head.
Wonderful video explanation bro. I really really appreciated to you for making this video for other people like me to understand how to replace Alternator. Thanks a Lots and God Bless you.
You're welcome!
You are a great instructor!
Used this video as a guide for my 2006 Toyota Estima (Tarago/Previa)
Very informative and helpful, thanks mate 👍🏻
👍😃
Man, you are the best! Five star video!
Frank Lu 👍😊
Thanks, Paul, it is a very helpful video. Appreciate it, bro! God's blessing be upon you!
Great video but not for mom’s 2002 Toyota sienna. I’m just cruising through videos and thought I’d stop by here. I got to get back over to the 2002 sienna :)
5 yr later today, I give you a Like, appreciate your video. Nice and easy
👍😂
You have a lot of patience and concern to teach others
Love your explanation. Thank you for the visible light and also getting up so that we can see well! Can we see how to take off the Serpentine Belt? You explain it the best and I need help :(
Go to my channel under playlists and under automotive watch two videos titled never replace serpentine drive belt until watching this. Harbor freight also sells a very reasonably priced serpentine drive belt removal wrench which also works very well.
@@proclaimliberty2000 Thank you so much. I appreciate you. I was able to get the belt off... now it is just that 10mm bolt on the side of the alternator, that one that faces horizontally... the wrench as socket do not have enough space there to place the socket on the bolt...
Hey, thanks for the excellent filming of the mounts for the part. I needed to see the bottom mount without trudging through a junkyard as the wife's car is at the car dealers shop. The bottom mount/ear is broken completely, and dealer says a new block is needed, at $5,000.00, now way. Weld it, modify or something, I'll find a way of fixing it and but good.
Yeah you're right, NO WAY! That broken mount can be TIG welded back on by a skilled welder.
@@proclaimliberty2000 thanks, brother.
ron reagan bites 👍😊
It's some easier to change alternator on a 86 Toyota Corolla. Only 2 connections. One for the voltage regulator, and one for the charging wire. But had to do it from below in the grease pit to get the 14mm ''main'' bolt out. Has to reconnect the regulator wire here too. Did replace the pluggs and wires at the same time. Now it runs smooth without ''droop''. 14,4 V DC charging and some better lights too.
God bless you too and thanks for sharing this step by step tutorial. Good Guy.
Extremely helpful video.
Thanks proclaimliberty2000,
Your video helps me a lot, I have 2007 camry 2.4 but it's same I think.
I tried to change alternator pulley today but cheap tool just broke in 10 minutes after open the box so I need to take off my alternator tomorrow.
Thanks! Great video.
Great video helped me out today, greetings from sweden :)
👍😊 Thanks for watching Martin!
Did I just listen to Bob Odenkirk tell me how to change my alternator? Lol. 🤪😂 well done tutorial. 👍
👍😊 Happy Thanksgiving!
thanks for telling me i need to get off the serpentine belt... Thanks for showing me how to do so as well......
👍😊
Thanks man ! Great detailed video !👍🏽
GOOD JOB 👍 👍
wow thats really good but one question why the hell someone dislike the video its awsome and keep give us videos abt these kind of tips and tutorial and bro i have camry 2006 xle v6 will it be the same cuz i start hearing the screaming nois like drilling something a very pitch sound plz advice me bro
Yes, it sounds like the bearings might be going on your alternator. There's no way of knowing how long your alternator will last. One day it will just start smoking and then seizes up leaving you stranded on the side of the road. If it's got a lot of miles on it you might just want to replace it now.
Thanks so much Paul, great info now I can do the job myself.
Al Gonzalez 👍😊
Great video now I will help a friend to install one ☝️
With the two alternator bolts removed from a 2009 Venza 3.5 I couldn't get the alternator out. The bracket attached to the right inside bottom corner of the alternator had a wire attached to it. I could not release the clip so I turned the alternator sideways to access the bolt holding the bracket unto the alternator . After I removed the bolt and maneuvered the wire harness that's in front of the alternator it came out easy. The bottom alternator bolt was accessed from underneath the car. (not to be confused with bracket bolt) And yes I removed the fan.
So, there is a bottom bolt that has to come out that isn't the bracket bolt everyone talks about?
@@da324 yes, its the second bolt on the alternator. accessed from the bottom on a 6 cylinder
@@zinger12 Thanks man!
thank you for showing how to remove the electrical connectors. all the other videos skip that vital information
Michael Zaug 👍😊
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Save me a lot by not taking it to the machenic
Mizz. Eti 👍😊
Worked. 07 RAV4 up and running in 2 hours
👍😃
I’ve had enough with it. No luck getting serpentine belt off. I’ve already stripped and cracked the tensioner. I don’t want to keep spending money to go buy parts, I might as well just take the damn thing into a mechanic. My question, the belt if halfway off the track, will I damage it if I have the car towed? (Pushing/Rolling the car out of in/out of the garage) thanks
I'm really sorry to hear you have had so much trouble. I know how frustrating this kind of stuff can be. I wish I could have been there to try and help you. The car will be fine having it towed with the belt halfway off.
Just call a mobile mechanic its a quick simple fix should not be too pricey
Liked and commented for TH-cam algorithm
Sameee here lol
Excellent video, thx for the help!
👍😊
Ok, now, how to take that black cap off the back and replace the voltage regulator ?
I need to do this today... should I have a breaker bar handy? Or should I be able to remove the bolts with my ratchet wrench?
I was able to remove them just fine with a 3/8 inch rachet wrench.
Why does no one show how to put the alternator back on. That's the hardest part. I gave up as dark fell. will try again tomorrow. Can't get back on the bracket to install the long 14 mm bolt. Just too tight. But you all just say "just install in the reverse order."
Gardenhill put some kind of lubricant on all the mating surfaces and try again wiggling alternator up and down.
Let me know how it goes.
@@proclaimliberty2000 Would up having to take a file and filing the alternator enough to wiggle it on to the brackets.
Did you find out how? Can you send me a link please if you did find a video on how to put it back
Hi, do you have any idea if this would work for a Toyota Celica GT (2001, automatic)? Thanks!
Hi there. This should really be pretty straight forward and not too much work. The hardest part of this job (like mine) will probably be removing and re-installing the timing belt. This might help you. th-cam.com/video/1LPZCvp_VWQ/w-d-xo.html
Were is the tensioner? You already had the serpent belt off in the video.
Thanks. What ya think about a rebuild kit instead of buying a refurbished. If one has time?
THANK YOU!!!!
👍😊
I having the biggest issue removing the serpentine belt. I got an 18 inch socket wrench, with an 19mm 6 point socket, and no matter how hard I pull clockwise, the belt will barely loosen up a little. It’s to the point where the tensioner is being stripped, and starting to break. 😤 What am I doing wrong here?
There's kind of a little trick to it and pushing down on the automatic tensioner if you haven't done it before. Maybe this will help. th-cam.com/video/1LPZCvp_VWQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for doing this video
Does this work on a 2008 toyota avalon
Nice.....
what is number of bearings for Toyota Camry 2007 ?
I am doing this tomorrow in my 2006 camry. Can you point me to the video showing how to remove serpentine belt?
th-cam.com/video/1LPZCvp_VWQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you
Can this be done on Scion xD?
Thanks a lot sir.
You didn't say how you removed the serpentine belt
Can I use these instructions to change the alternator on a 2006 Toyota Camry Solara (v6 SLE)?
I have not changed an alternator on the V6 you mentioned. I think you will find this pretty straight forward to perform. I think what gives people the most trouble is removing and re-installing the serpentine belt.
Thank you for the reply and the video!
This guy sounds like Bob Odenkirk
Appreciate you g
I can't open the #14 screw and my DIY failed
The dude spent half hour on how not to break the clips. So long I forgot why I was watching the damn video.
where is belt removal?
How to lose the alternator belt
u r good, thank
Man I didn't see the serpentine belt video
How do I know my Belt Tensioner is tight enough while putting it back?
By the amount of tension on your belt!
tensioner is hydraulic. when it goes bad, the belt will be loose.
easy peezy :)
So I know how to change my oil and I know how to change a tire so I'm not one of those completely useless girls LOL. If I got the tools you said to do this do you think I would be capable of doing this myself
Yes
“Easy peezy”
Nice profile pic. I thought I posted this video for a second there. Lol
I just spent over $400 to replace mine. Oh well.
it's a four-cylinder
Very helpful. Give ya a sub for your channel name alone.
👍😊
Bet it just needed brush assembly replaced. That’s the best alternator for a Toyota (Denso) not some auto parts store hunk of s**t.
It's not so easy on a 2010 Toyota RAV4
Very helpful!!
