My wife has a 2008 Honda Element. I haven't had to replace the alternator in it yet, but have replaced a few over the years. Remember when they were on the top of the engine, and all you had to do was take off the belt, remove 2 bolts and you were done. How times have changed. Great video. I'm sure it will help many people.
Hondas are good cars. I have an 06 element that I will be getting rid of soon. Subaru seems to be one of the few makes that still has their alternator on top.
The Alternator replacement on this 2006 element was simple and straight to the point, without removing unnecessary parts just to get at the alternator, like fans and core supports etc... as seen on the other TH-cam for the same vehicle, this is the best DIY video to replace element's alternator, hands down! 💯😎✌️
Thank you so much for this video. I just changed the alternator in my 2003 Honda Element using just this video to guide me. Saved me a good couple hundred dollars. My car didn’t start immediately after changing the alternator. My battery was completely dead (its only 2.5 months old) jumping it with another car didn’t help so I took the battery to AutoZone. They completely charged it up to 100% for free. It took about an hour. Just a heads up in case anyone else is changing theirs.
Victoria Rose so glad it helped, thanks for watching and commenting, we make more when we know we actually helped people!!
This was a great tutorial. Reality played out a little more complicated for me, but this was my 1st time, and it only took me about 1.25 hrs (by myself). The information was well described, and the views were as good as could be expected.
Thanks for the great tutorial!
Thank you so much! Much easier your way than what other videos show by saying you have to remove the radiator, bottom cover, etc.
Man. Thank you so much for this! I’m not super mechanical but currently I’m broke and you saved me a ton of money. First try and it worked (usually not the case 😆). Your instructions were easy to follow and concise. Much appreciated!
Best Element alternator video on youtube. Best path best result. Thanks!
Thank you so much for putting this together. I changed my first Alternator last night on a time crunch, and the step-by-step detail in your video really helped!
Nathan Motl awesome!!! Glad it helped and thanks for watching!!
Great video. This helped me a lot. Still took me 3 hours though. Like everyone says, those 2 lower bolts on the alternator were very difficult, but doable. As an aside I decided to put on a more powerful than stock alternator. The stock one is 105 amps, which is underpowered. The battery is underpowered too for that matter. When my car battery died one day I tried to jump it off with my Element and it was a no-go. However my Honda van jumped it off with no problem at all. I purchased a 200 amp alternator from ebay,which is what I replaced the stock 105 amp with. It came from bnrparts and worked perfectly. I was a little concerned at first because the pully was a little smaller than stock but that didn't seem to matter. The tensioner picked up the extra slack and the belt was plenty tight. So far so good, although I only finished this a few hours ago. I started it up and the battery light in the dash went out, and I drove it a quarter mile to the mailbox and back.
How's it holding up?
@@wizzdumb_610 It's doing perfectly:)
There is a metal a/c hose blocking one of the lower bolts. How did you solve this problem?
GREAT video! Changing one for a friend who has very little money. Your video will help me change this quickly. Thx!
This is the way. No removing radiator support or idler pulley. Maximum efficiency 👍👍👍
Kelsey Crozier thanks for watching and commenting, we appreciate it!!
Thank you so much for the video. Saved me a ton on not having to get a mechanic to do this. I wish you the best!
Awesome shots, the focused, high definition pictures really make a difference understanding what goes where. Thanks!
Awesome, thank you for watching and for the comment, We have an amazon camera, Panasonic Lumix 4K Camera that has made all the difference.
we found our code for the radio in our owner's manual, just in case anyone had that problem. thanks, great video
Thanks for the vid... Ac line was in the way of the 2 bottom bolts, had to push a little on that account line.
You tricky son of a biscuit... I spent an hour trying to get those two lower bolts out - come back to see how you did it so easily - and there it is... a gosh darn flex-head ratchet...the tool store thanks you for my business.
Thank you very much! Excellent, step by step video. Really appreciate it. Best wishes.
best video on this repair on YT in 2020
If I didn't watch this video i would've went through all that crap of pulling parts off the vehicle I didn't need too...... GOOD VIDEO 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you very much. The good side of youtube.
Thank you sooooo very much, this video helped me immensely! Many karma point coming to ya!
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
Great video! Accurate and on point! Thank you!
Very nice video... saved me many steps in my install
we shall see..I'm about to do one for a friend soon as i finish this video.. thanks
Great video.. the use of the flexible ratchet head was the X factor to getting off the two bottom bolts and could have been mentioned for the less mechanically inclined viewers..
Very helpful video🎃it's extremely clear i could hear everything🎃well explained thank you so much for sharing🎃
👍👍👍👍great job buddy, thanks for sharing 👍 👍👍👍
Thank you for the video
Great video , Saved me a lot of work However there is one item that should have been addressed as Preventative Maintenance since the Power Steering pump was off . Next to the pump is a oil transfer port under a cover that is held on with 2 bolts. There is a screen under the cover that should have been cleaned or replaced at the time of the pumps removal FYI. Found this out when my engine shutdown at Highway speed, would idle fine but no RPM above 3000, once screen was replaced Element was normal again.
Thanks for your video it help me alot 👍🏻
glad it helped, thanks so much for watching and commenting, we appreciate it!!
thanx same car same problem awesome video you made for us candy ass back yard junkies .
Thank you! this worked well
Great video thank you very much it helped me!!
great Video!!👀👍👍👌
thank you for watching and for the comment
You the man. Thank you so much
Good video, I just swapped mine after watching this. i have the same year and color Element but those lower two bolts were a bit of a PITA on mine. They were blocked by the metal PS hose. Also I didn't find it necessary to remove the emissions hose.
Same here... those two bottom bolts slowed me down w/ that damn metal hose in the way.
@@SuperNick090 how did you get past the metal hose!?!?!?! I'm stuck on this part. And now even more worried about putting the new one in with that hose in the way
@@zzergg8188 it seemed impossible at first but I just kept wiggling the screw and barely had enough room to get it done
Good vid
Nice$$$$$$
It would be nice to have a tools list, or if you said the sizes of all the bolts as you went, not just some
Well most people have the sense to figure it out before the days of the youtube mechanics.
@@aaronpixler3842 Recipes have ingredient lists. Be a dick logged into the channel, not your alt
@@nickfarley3962 if your on youtube trying to work on a car....that says it all. My case rests.
@@aaronpixler3842 if your on youtube trolling people trying to learn how to do something... that says a little more
Thank you sir.
sylmar CALIFAS thank you for watching!!
Great video, Thank You!!!!!
How did you reach the two bottom bolts on the alternator ? Air conditioning line in way, thanks
I removed my coolant overflow reservoir (one nut holds it on and the connecting tube) and the cooling fan (2 nuts hold it on) both are easy to remove and easy to reinstall plus it makes removing the bottom bolts of the alternator possible. Had to kinda force the socket onto that on with the air conditioning line but it fits, just VERY tightly.
You make it look simple. Will this work on an 08 Honda Element SC? Someone posted a how to video on the removal of the alternator but deided not to show how to remove it the alternator but show it removed alreadly.
Personally I hate the auto rolldown on the window. Could I just leave it that way so I have to manually hold the button?
I am not sure if you can remove that as the motor and switch are designed to use it, You could try it and see, let us know if it works.
On the factory radio code where would you find that if no book
thank you
Have 2010 Element, 140,000 miles and original owner. I recently have been doing long distant trips in 1000's of miles. Alternator is original. Do you suggest replacing it to avoid breakdown in unknown locations? Thanks.
What size wrench did you use for the tensioner?
@auto parts direct to you .... Why is there no sound? I played this video on several different browsers and devices and none of them would play the audio. The commercial in front of the video played the sound but the video itself... nothing.
surprised the customer didn't complain about the slow cranking starter !
my element also cranks slow, even when it was new and w/ new battery. I think it's a element thing.
mine cranks slowly too
parishm I think I will try group 56 battery(drop in) next time w/ 590cca. I heard it helps.
i just installed an Optima red top 34R with 800 CCA and it definitely helped a little.
awesome, great info about the battery
I was jump starting a Scion tC today and my alternator on my Honda Element caught fire I obviously have to replace the alternator but is there any other device or part I should check before I do this? Thanks.
my element's alt died at 145k is this normal? also replacement was ultima, is it any good?
Noseefood That's crazy, my alternator just died at 145k miles so it must be normal.
thank you for the video. however, i was disappointed that you stopped identifying bolt size. it would be great to go to the toolbox, grab exactly what is needed, and then proceed. i will probably spend 30 minutes to an hour on this job just identifying bolt sizes
lol really? Just grab one and it is either bigger or smaller how many tries can it take? A minute per bolt size max. an HOUR?!!!!
Totaly different from the 2nd gen CRV's There a PAIN!!!!
This guy a professional mechanic? Those C-man wrenches are the mark of a novice
I tell you what.. the bottom two bolts were a bitch to get off.. but it's off.. thanks man
Did you use a flex head ratchet?
Can you do this without removing the power steering pump? Seems like you could
Its two bolts, just take it out. I don't think you could physically remove the alternator without doing it anyway.
