    Like the fact that you shared your struggles to us and how you came up with the solution. For example, around at 9:30 i was trying to remove the connectors for days but i was scared and ended up just left them like that (i should inspect the conditions, but im nervous.

    Very clear instructions. Tight places and normal tools, nothing special to use in the repair. My power steering pump tensioner bolt snapped from rusting in place, so ordered a new one (less than $8). Going through the fender well helps tremendously.

    The battery is either the wrong type or installed backwards because the terminals should be closer to the engine. Installed this way, the hood prop rod can short out against the positive terminal.

      @@TonyTheTruckGuy thanks for the reply, yea I just did this same job on a civic ( 05 ) and the design is ridiculous, took me about 3 plus hours with all the tools , the problem was that the sliding bracket for the alternator gets in the way of the actual lower alternator bolt , it's easier to just remove the whole bracket which is held on by 1 bolt the put the slider bracket bolt in then install, ( if you know what I mean ) whacky ass design if you ask me !

    I got a new battery put in 4 months and today I was at a stop sign and the car started shaking back and forth and when I got home to park the car the battery light came on. Does that mean the alternator had something to do with that? I know little to nothing about cars

    • @TonyTheTruckGuy
      @TonyTheTruckGuy  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Battery light just means low voltage in general, but there could be several possible causes. I actually have another video on this exact car showing how to check the alternator if you wanted to check that one out.

      Who says 1-2 hrs? Is that what book time is? That sounds about right though. It could be done faster but as you see with the rusty wing nut, the time can add up quickly.

      @@Warmspringsrezbuck Hard to say. If everything goes right, 1-2 hrs is probably right. This one was a bit rusty and didn’t come apart perfect. So that added time, also filming and commenting added time. Same with replacing that connector that the wires ripped on.
