Do you need a torque wrench at 32 LBS for the bottom 14mm bolt or it doesn't matter? That part wasn't explained but I've seen it mentioned in another video. Wondering which is it.
For mine, grabbing the belt at middle point between alternator and water pump (I think) and twisting it 90 degrees. There should be a "strong" resistant/tension beyond 90.
As an ignorant DIY'er, this video TOTALLY helped me replace my alternator correctly on my Corolla. Thank you so much!!!!
Thanks for the install assistance!
I love those Milwaukee ratchets!
Yeah, the long reach are nice!
thank you for this but now my windshield wipers, radio, power steering, ect are no longer working. Any advice?
Check fuses first.

How do you ensure that the belt tension is correct when installing the new alternator?
Technically there is a tension gauge. But I just feel the belt.
