This really helped us change the alternator on my car ourselves .. I really appreciate how detailed you were - telling us how many screws, what size socket we needed .. I know nothing about cars and we would have been lost without your video! Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am in no way mechanically inclined. I didn't have anything but an extremely cheap set of tools that I received years ago as a gift. Your video helped me immensely. It was definitely a process for me, but I came out the victor in this struggle. It saved me about $250 from the best quote I got for an actual mechanic to do the work, not counting having to use a rideshare while my car would've been out of commission.

I used your video to replace the alternator on my wife's Mazda. It's a pretty straightforward process, did take me about 3 hours though as I had a hard time reaching some of the bolts and that damn tensioner. Thank you for making this video.

You are right. Even when unbolted with all the attachments off, getting the alternator out is a pita. Tight squeeze back there.

I just checked the Autozone website and they specify tightening all three Alternator Mounting Bolts to 29 Foot Pounds. I thought it strange that the top bolt got torqued to less than half the torque of the bottom bolts; that doesn't make sense since the heads are the same size. Where did you get the torque specifications for the bolts?

I'm a bit concerned why the top single 13mm Alternator Mounting Bolt is torqued to 18 Ft. Pounds but the bottom two 13mm Bolts are torqued to over twice that. Do you have any idea why the torque is so much on the bottom two bolts? Thanks for your help.

The hot wire coming off the alternator should have current yes. And the excite wire should ignite once vehicle is running, not while it’s off.

Alright so I guess I was rechecking the Bolts and overtightened the top alternator bolt and now it’s lose and won’t tighten. I’m also getting a vtec whirl from the alternator and my car stalled this morning as I slowed down at the red light . Is the lose bolt the problem here or do I need a new belt ?
@ls1camaro92
@ls1camaro92 3 жыл бұрын
Is this vehicle even charging? Is there slack in the belt? Have the alternator checked at a parts store. They can check to see if your charging or not for free. May need to check all pulleys for any drag if it’s sounding out of the norm.

Eduardo Reyes it’s actually pretty quick. If you have your tools out and ready. It can be done in 30 minutes!!! You’ll need one other person though to put the belt on the top pulley when your under the car pushing on the tensioner! It’s one of the easiest alternator jobs I’ve ever done.

Second Chance Repair. Well I did it. It did take me a few hours with the help of a friend. Bolts were just rust-stuck to the parts because of winter salt. (Chicago) That and the location of the alt and my no experience whatsoever added up in time . Live n learn...
