Thanks for letting us know to remove the part with the 2 ten millimeters bolt in order to be able to take out the alternator. I was trying for hours to take out the alternator based on other videos. They made it sound like it will slip out easily. I saw your video and was able to remove and put in the new alternator by just removing that one part. It was still a tight fit but doable. Thanks again.

You're the only video that explains how to install the final bolt on top. Thank you very much mentioning the tensioner it is simple and easy to do and it should fit right in. Other videos if they even mention anything say loosen the motor mount and on and on and jacking up the the engine and on and on and I'm glad I saw your explanations and thank you.

You can remove it without going underneath. I just did mine completely from above & had it out in about 30 mins. Most difficult part is removing the old alternator you have to maneuver it through all the hoses and mounts. My advice to anyone would be remember which way the old one came out to put the new one in. I noticed the best option was top 2 mounts out first then work it out. Took me around an hour to do start to finish. Great video thanks for the help!

I really like how you put out the tools needed and showed how things come apart after you had already removed it. But I really wish you had filmed the whole process of putting it back in in the struggle of putting that positive cable on and then aligning the thing on the two brackets. Cuz that's where the real struggle is on this, in my opinion. But aside from that, you made a really good tutorial.
