On this video I removed an alternator from a 2006 Toyota Corolla. Procedure should be very similar for 2003 to 2008 Toyota Corolla. I ended up putting the old alternator back on because after putting on new alternator the car was still having problem.
Turns out the car just needed an idle reset. I reset the idle by turning on the car and letting it get to normal operating temperature, then I turn off the car. I turn the key to on and turn it back off, turn to on again and turn it back off, then I turn the key to on for a third time and turn all the way to start the car. I pulled the parking brake and shift the car to drive gear. Waited inside the car for about 5 to 6 minutes and the problem was fixed. Idle got reset.

Thanks for the video. Had to replace one in a 2008 Corolla. When you see that battery symbol on your dash lights - that typically means your alternator is not functioning. To be certain, disconnect negative battery terminal while car is running. If engine cuts off, replace your alternator. And for anyone that ends up rounding the 14mm bottom bolt like me, use a 14mm IRWIN bolt grip socket to remove it (Lowes). I wasted so much time trying other techniques when this thing worked perfectly the first time. I also had to replace that bolt as well - it's a M10 x 1.25. I couldn't find it in any of the automotive stores near me, but luckily Lowes had that as well.
Just had my battery die on me and replaced it. Drove it a couple of days and the new battery died. Knew it was the alternator and tbh it was an easy fix for me being an 18yo college student
thanks for the tip on extracting the bottom 14 mm bolt!
Also in my case for some reason the nut on the back that shouldn't move at all it was moving. So after I put the bitter 14mm socket, I rounded mine, I noticed it was moving constantly but not losing up. I had to probe the nut on the back with a tinny flat head srew driver and that was when I could take it off. By the way I had to remove the radiator fan to have more room to access the nut on the back.
I came here today specifically for clues regarding how those plastic clips are removed. Brilliant job, you showed me exactly what I was looking for.
First of all, you did a masterful job of placing the camera where we could get a good view of some of that close-quarters work!! Especially removing the clips, etc. Thank you!! Secondly, I'm about to swap an alternator out on a 2008, and I am beyond thankful that I don't have to do it while holding a camera!! Yes!! Makes my whole job seem easier!! Lol!! Thank you SO much for this helpful, helpful video!!!!
Thanks for the comment. Yeah holding a camera while doing this work takes a lot longer to finish.
You're the MVP for showing how to remove the plastic clamp at 09:20.
Very informative video! I really appreciate all the camera angles and incredibly helpful tips!!!

Awesome, love the details and just the right amount, and getting to see everything. Thanks!
Great detailed video - shows how to remove clips. Great video work! Thanks
Thank you. I was able to change my alternator today because of you. 👍
Great to hear. Thank you!
0:35 almost cased arching by placing wrench between non insulated positive terminal and connected to the body battery clamp with negative cable not yet separated from the battery post. I always cover open + battery terminal with the rag
I used a regular BREAKER-BAR, but when I put the 19mm socket onto it, it wouldn't fit into the small space. So I used an angle grinder to cut away about 5 mm of the open end of that socket, and that worked for me, the socket now fit into that small space. I then used an opened-up metal coat hanger to act as a long 'finger' to loop the belt back onto the sockets. The coat hanger rod is straight, with a 2" 90-degree bend at the far end.
very informative thank you so much my friend

Good tutorial mommy brother ! Done !
You can find the belt diagram on google if your belt comes off or you are replacing serpentine while doin alternator
You are a remarkable teacher. Thank you.
Thanks
serdecznie dziękuję Panu za film.
how do you get the bottom plug out?
Wat bolt losen to losen the belt on 2006 corolla?
7:24 thats the bolt thats given me the most trouble to the point that ive stripped it
Can’t remove the lower bolt at 8:06 in video above. It’s not budging any suggestions?
First, make sure you're turning it the correct way to loosen. Second, as you can see in the video, without the pipe I probably wouldn't be able to loosen it. I use the pipe as a leverage. I don't remember what I did, but in the video looks like I connect the pipe to a short ratchet.
Mention about the socks size please
0:52 yakuza sword....
Nice Vid. I would have said excellent if you'd only said what size socket to use on the two bolts holding the alternator 🙁
I get viewers asking about socket size on my car repair videos. I usually don't mention typical socket size because I assume people working on car would have a set of sockets.
@@WelkingVue You might want to assume some people working on cars also have teenage sons that sometimes use said socket sets. I watched a better Vid that said the sizes so was able to find what I needed to use before I made the trip to where the car was located
All it takes is trying. I didn't know the socket size when I first worked on it. Most bolts and screws I remove I have to try 2 or 3 different sockets before I get the right size. Now if someone wants to know the socket size, so they can go buy it, that's a different story.
I got scared when he dropped the wrench almost across the battery terminals. About to have a welded wrench..
It improves the voltage😂😂😂
It usually sparks and jumps off before it welds
I have one of those. It ate out a bit of metal from the wrench so it’s modded now. Lightweight and 3.2% faster!
Would be easier if you removed the plastic engine cover
On this era of Corolla, that plastic cover has a habit of wearing through the water jacket sensor wire after enough miles. I'd reccomend pulling it off right away, and only putting it back on to sell the car.
What would happen of you loosened the alternator bolts whilen it was still tensioned? Is it possible to just unbolt it and use that slack to remove the belt from the pulley? Basically as a way to skip using the tensioner for removal?
Did you say remove ni99a terminal at 0:28
It's a lot easier is you take the engine cover off FIRST!!!!!!!
🇺🇸💕👍👍
This video was helpful until he said he wasnt gonna record himself installing it because it's just the opposite of what he just did but what if you're struggling to fit the screw back into place
The bottom long screw !
@@soflyj1 I’m currently sitting outside in MN it’s like 5 out rn. having the same issue with the bottom bolt. Is it better to put the top in first or should I do bottom first?
@@konnermckenna5491 I dont clearly remember but I believe you were supposed to put the bottom in first the the top
@@soflyj1 I got it in finally. Now the belt is giving me trouble. These frozen fingers just aren’t workin well. Also the first time I’ve ever done work under the hood of a car. So I’m learning everything on the spot.
@1:17 that is NOT the correct bolt, it's the 17mm one under the WRONG ONE.
This guy outta breath the whole video
looooool
Stop smoking guy
0:28 it’s actually the african-american terminal
remove the 🙋🏿♂️ terminal
Thanks
