I followed this video yesterday and the 47 ft/lbs of torque on the alternator bolts BROKE the top bolt. I checked and re-checked my torque wrench. Either way, this video was very helpful.
Just did this. Took me 2 hours total. I’m an IT guy, not a mechanic. You will need 10, 12, and 14 mm sockets and some extensions. Also a small star shaped bit, I think it is a T15. Also tools to take off the wheel. One thing not shown is that you need to remove 4 plastic clips to pull back the splash guard. I used a hammer claw for that. Other than that I followed the steps exactly and had no issues. Thanks for the great video. This was the simplest and most direct one I found for this.
Thanks. I'm doing this repair right now. That alternator is a little harder to remove. It won't just wiggle out like that. It's calling for a lot more force. Thanks for the video. I wouldn't be able to do this without this guide.
@@BALL_BUZZ exactly I am not a mechanic. Yet a simple swapping an alternator on multiple vehicles has taught me. Sometimes a rubber mallet is rather handy. It can become solid in place even after releasing the bolts.
OKI appreciate you guys showing the guide how to do this but it wasn't as easy as you all predicted Like that video made everything look so easy I've been sitting here for 3 hours trying to do this 😵💫😵💫😵💫😤😤😤😤
Im sure they care what You give them. If undont have enough brains to figure out what tools y need after they showed to You, You should not be working even on bicycles
Or, for someone like me, it'd be nice to know what size sockets to make sure I have with me since I'm going to be working over an hour away from home...
This is not how the alternator is removed there are about five more parts you need to remove before you can pull it. Just read up on all data and you should be good.

@@jacobejameson lmao fellow IT engineer doing their own repair, also dont mechanic😂
@ you can do this one!
Battery negative terminal: 10mm
Alternator positive terminal: 12mm
Serpentine belt tensioner: 14mm
Alternator mounting bolts: 14mm

What size socket did u undo the tension on the belt?

Some do some don't. I changed an alternator in a 2003 Honda Civic and it came right off.

@@JamesHeartKatie welcome to the exciting world of Automobile mechanics
I saw a Rogue getting this done yesterday. The book called for 5 hours? This doesn’t look like.a 5 hour job. Thanks for a great video.
Use the size of sockets you used would be SUPER helpful if someone has to go out of the shop to do the job
최고 입니다 ㅎㅎ
덕분에 도움이 많이 되었습니다
to be a professional manual you forgott the list of tools need it to do the job from 5-10 I'll give you a 5 for what you miss
Im sure they care what You give them.

@dk RaWk they should be letting DIY mechanics know what tools you need and socket sizes not everyone knows
Or, for someone like me, it'd be nice to know what size sockets to make sure I have with me since I'm going to be working over an hour away from home...
Pretty much what these other guys already said. I’m looking for what socket sizes I’m going to need. I already know how to turn a wrench..
Does the ECM need to rest after replacing the alternator and battery? My service engine soon light came on after replacing them both...
Yes yes. Your muffler bearings need to be coded as well
Thanks a lot for the that helpful clip. It’s easy now a caveman can do it 😂 if he gets the right tools 😂
That’s the hardest part of car repairs I think lol
take terminals off battery first and foremost
After you open the hood
Is this the same for a 2018
Really good video
What sizes of sockets are needed

Preciate it!!

Omg, the bolt is not a 48 ft lb bolt. I followed your directions and broke the bolt. It’s a 28-35 ft lb bolt.

This video is the Worst how to video on the planet!
It doesn’t even tell you what tools to use at all
You will catch hell getting the bolts off😅
