good Video well explained, there is another way, I changed the Alternator without removing engine mounting PS pump, or tension pulley. I can see this method gives you a bit more room to manipulate the Alternator and unless you got a trolley jack this seems a lot of work. The method of removing the front Tee shaped bracket that holds the bonnet catch is relatively simply, just the Fan, water bottle and front under bumper shield and few wire clips.. the Alternator squeezes out between the Radiator and engine, just needs tilted forward a bit.., I place strong cardboard on the radiator face to protect against any bumps a scrapes. Was easy enough to install new alternator with care. Cheers..
Great video! But I just did one on a 06 CRV and all I removed was the power steering pump and the coolant reservoir, the hardest bolt was bottom left, after you can get this bolt out you are golden! I seen another video and he explained how to replace the alternator without removing too many parts and I followed and was a piece of cake after the bottom left bolt came loose!!!
The narrator/mechanic is great. This is a great video. Step by step. Follow at your own pace. Very slight variations on the 2006 . I bought the altenator at 1 A Auto as suggested. Arrived next day. I bought a new tensioner pulley assembly, and serpentine belt from Honda OEM. Thank you for this video. Saved me a ton . Take your time. Do it right.

Thanks for the video, very helpful; this was one of the least intuitive alternator replacements Ive ever done, doubt I could have pulled it off without you!
If you go under the crv and the one bolt of the support and the upper bolts you can move out of your way and you don't have to take the adjustor off keep up the good work making videos and have a blessed day today 🙏
I knew at the 46 second mark when he used a floor jack to raise the engine this was not going to be a typical alternator job. The explanation and video shots were super helpful. All the 1AAuto videos are top rate! Is there any concern jacking up the motor from under the oil pan, like bending it or damaging the gasket?
The Honda engineers were real jerks by not taking maintenance into account. The rigid part of that A/C line was my nemesis in preventing me from getting my sockets in line with the lower bolts. I highly recommend using only 1/4” sockets for those two bolts; However, as in my case with 200K plus on the engine, the bolts were dry and corroded and thus had to bend the rigid lower A/C line and use 3/8” sockets to gain the necessary force and leverage.
Several times you used the word that sounds like "peatong". Please spell it so I can look it up. By the way, one of the best real-world part replacement videos I have ever seen! Great job!
Just look through the transcript to find the word your questioning. Click on ‘more’ under the video description and go to the bottom for the transcript. Go to the time stamp and get your answer.
you can easily do this job without removing the fans or having to jack up car or remove engine mount or any hose barb fittings i just did my altenator and tensioner pulley and belt without any of them steps
I love love love your videos!! Im.a little confused though when you got to the alternator first you unplugged a green plastic clip plug then you took off the wires under the little boot...then you showed taking the green clip plug again?? There's only one of those right!?? 😊
Any maintenance on this specific vehicle sucks the starter was inside the engine too. My Honda CRV has 320,000 miles on it. I am now contemplating leaving the alternator in as it is still charging the battery enough to start it if I leave my lights on though for a few min the battery dies. May be a battery maintainer would be easier in my case anybody have any input?
You spent 3 seconds removing the green plug. The evil design of the plug and socket does not allow any leverage to remove, so if it is frozen on you will spend a lot of time removing it while trying not to break it into pieces.
And I might add… That if Honda had any brains, they could’ve made these small urban assault vehicles with about a 200 hp to 220 hp with a resigned and accessible engine, put some wheels on them, push bar, made some nice off-road accessories and have the ability to disengage the all-wheel-drive… And they would’ve sold a crap load of these cars. That’s what people are doing to these cars now! Making a little urban assault vehicle or bug out vehicles, putting tuners, headers, intakes, snorkels, small lift kits… The list goes on. The AEV market is huge! Friends of mine and I saw the potential of this little car years ago when the first generation came out. But Honda in their planned obsolescence thinking… Well I don’t think I need to say anymore.
Turn to Jesus people, he died for your sins. Repent of what the New testament describes as sin. Believe the gospel get baptized and obey the teachings of Jesus. The gospel and the teachings of Jesus are documented in Matthew Mark Luke and John. Jesus is the only way to be saved, if you have faith in Jesus through your faith you will live by his teachings. God bless you all in Jesus name amen

They make it so difficult to change a common failure part in these cars. Amazing.
On purpose! All so you take it to the dealer and get raked over the coals.

Y’all are life savers honestly I appreciate your channel more than you know! Thanks for being awesome!

Excellent work. It was fun watching. But a lot of work. Thanks for sharing. Greeting from San Diego.

Yes, put a piece of wood between your jack and your oil pan
This video is the best tutorial video I seen
Thanks
Video was a huge help but now I'm mad at honda for the placement of it

Thanks for this, I had to do this yesterday and all went perfect.
Thank again:)

This is tedious. The video from JM Auto Repair is much easier and faster. Trust me you don't want to do this much.
it is easy. the most difficult thing are those rusty 10mm bolt
Watch for the nut behind the tensioner to fall out. Had to search for it for 10 min.
Yup I think he missed that one. Mine fell down and later I got confused for 5 minutes
Very Helpful!
Damn my 2003 explorer took 10 minutes 😳
At 17:58 is that piece called the PCV valve?
There's other videos for better installation.

Just buy a new car. This is the worst design by Honda. I've changed these alternators out and this is the biggest headache.
And I might add… That if Honda had any brains, they could’ve made these small urban assault vehicles with about a 200 hp to 220 hp with a resigned and accessible engine, put some wheels on them, push bar, made some nice off-road accessories and have the ability to disengage the all-wheel-drive… And they would’ve sold a crap load of these cars.

believe me there is a easier way to this job.. And compared to some cars this is easy enough, me and grandson did this in a couple of hours..

A really poor job of showing the tools and technique of getting the belt back on. Also not listed in the description
Too stressful

You’re doing too much
This is so sad 😂
