If you take the right front tire off you have access to both of the lower bolts . With a wobble and extension you can have the two lower bolts off in a matter of a min. or 2 and there off .
Thank you. I’m stranded in downtown LA right now. I have to do this on the street in front of random peoples houses... Fun Friday. 👎🏽 I live 50 miles away...
You made this look extremely easy, I had to take the front right wheel off to get better access to the bottom two bolts, the easy part. Hard part is getting the 10mm nut off, it won’t break loose and it seems impossible to wiggle out. I give up.
Nice job going to do mine soon , shame 41000 miles and my 06 needs one . This car has electrical gremlins , punch it and the air bag light goes on , next day , it’s off had some work done to fix it , it didn’t . Waste of money and the dealer boy installed my passenger seat belt backwards.
I have one sitting in garage cuz I thought I had to remove the motor thank you for this video it was in the summer nope I didn't want to look at it sad I know
I did this and it worked! But then it stopped working again. So I started switching it again but the nut behind the electrical connector is all rusted and wont budge. What should I do?
How the hell did you get the bottom bolt in with the heat shield on? You sure can not get to it with the heat shield on when trying to pull the alternator off!!🤬😡

Then spend more time and work putting the tire on and off

how long is the extension to get the 10 mm bolt loose from the power output on the alternator?
I used an 18" and it was more than enough.
Thank you for your detailed content . Good job

Awesome video, my wife's 2003 CTS alternator just threw the towel in. What is the best place to find an alternator? Thanks !!
Thanks that was very informative.
would it be the same process for a 3.6 L engine?
U have the best video. I can't get the pully to leave much room to get the belt on and off the alternater. Any suggestions

Always great job 5 star.

I need a 1/2 inch shorter alternator belt what do I do
What did you use to adjust the tensioner
The tensioner is spring loaded self adjusting. Just used a half inch ratchet and rotated.
@@HowtoAutomotive i took mine off when i replaced the alternator and now im having trouble getting the pulley in the right position

Nice video, bad links. You stated you would list the tow. Yet you have a link to a store to buy tools and no items listed.
How the hell did you get the bottom bolt in with the heat shield on? You sure can not get to it with the heat shield on when trying to pull the alternator off!!🤬😡
I know this video is 5 years old but, I need to point out that only years 05-07 has a 2.8L motor option.
How many miles on it.
john1240able 130k this car was in the desert and Sand got in the bearings.
How to Automotive ok thanks for reply.
That long bolt is confusing
Why don't you say the heat shield has to come off dude
