2007 2010 Hyundai Elantra Alternator Replace How to 2.0L 2008 2009 Remove Install Battery Light On

[@jamestaylor394]

Video helped me replace my alternator in a grocery store parking lot yesterday. Zero mechanical skills. I got the gear wrench stuck on the water pump bolt first thing lol. Took me 4 hours...will take me 15 next time! I can't believe how crap my car was running for the last month. Feels like a new ride. Thanks!

[@my6732]

it is very kind of you to put these videos up for folks to learn from on there own , rather then pay 600 bucks to have a gatage do it. .

[@shaunlovell8313]

came here to see if i could do it without taking the water pump or oil filter off, thank you for showing me the way!!

[@alexhagen3678]

Thank you for the video! I've read about having to retighten the belt when it's put back on. How do you do that? How tight do you know to make it?

[@Spidey_Ethan]

Are any fluids going to run out when I loosen the bolts holding the bracket in? Just asking because I removed an alternator and bracket from a car in the junkyard, and stuff came running out. Not sure it ifs because other parts were already taken out or what, but just thought I’d ask if that’s something I should expect. (Couldn’t tell in your video as some things looked wet already)

[@richardprovenzano904]

We just did the same thing with great success. Good Job

[@stephaniecarpenter2096]

Thank you for this! We got stuck on that last bolt before it comes out! So thank you it was a big help!!

[@MelvinMcisaac-gp8lt]

Is their two connectors one air conditioners on with out changed my alt but connectors were different

[@angelarroyo8261]

I did the same job and tried to remove from the top but didn't want to put pressure on the a/c lines so I followed your other video and removed the oil filter which barely dripped any oil and dropped it from the bottom. I don't know why those bracket bolts have to be so long if they weren't it would be an easy pull from up top. But I still recommend removing the bracket bolts because it makes it easier to wiggle out whether from the top or bottom. And that harness holding the wire just snip you can use a ziptie to put it back on.

taking out the radiator and fans helps, though i work in a recycling yard so im not worried about collateral damage.

[@r.joseph8911]

@@brian8319 DEFINITELY a plus!!!

[@MelvinMcisaac-gp8lt]

Don't have to remove oil filter plastic shield remove it from the botton a battery can go in from the bottom shield is actually out through the bottom fender

[@tonystephens6238]

Thanks for the video. It helped a lot for my 2010 Hyundai

[@christinacook3508]

We've got to the point where we have that bolt sticking out hitting the inside of the car how do we get it out. You went from it being in there to next frame was not connected

[@adanjuarezjr5135]

Did you ever figure it out

[@simongingras4056]

The bolt does not need to come completely off, because it is housed inside a "half-hole" bracket. See 14:47 where you can see the "half-hole" bracket, the alternator out of it and the bolt still engaged in the alternator. It is a open-pivot point. Sorry maybe for the wrong wording, it is easier to show it than to explain it.

[@troyTortorelli]

If the first thing you do is loosen the bolts do the water pump pulley you can get everything out of the way and make it easier.

[@jesserenn3152]

I was trying to remove those bracket bolts and it immediately starting leaking coolant on the ground a BUNCH. Tightened em back up and was able to carefully finaggle it out the bottom, from the top, without removing the oil filter. Anyone else have a BAD coolant leak trying to do this? Also I was snooping around the subframe and it appears there is a dust shield in the wheel well that might give access to alternator when removed. Only reason I didn't find out is cuz I discovered it right after I got the new alt up past the filter and thought "well that mighta been handy. Too late now" lol.

[@jordanlaguerre6206]

I found it easiest to remove the fan. The fan is pretty simple to take off and on. After taking out the fan it's super easy to swap out the alternator.

[@chrisd5758]

​@@jordanlaguerre6206thanks for this bro!

thanks it really helped me

Thanks a lot it helped me a lot

[@josephsamuel3796]

Thank you very much took me awhile lol

[@Geonious]

Seems like anything that needs to be done to a Hyundai is a major PITA. What ever happened to two bolts and done alternators!?

[@r.joseph8911]

Yeah REALLY! Right?

[@dondishes]

Great video friend!

[@Seventa3ash]

Removed those 4 bolts of power steering pump pulley will save u all the time and haste

[@adanjuarezjr5135]

What if I don’t own a gearwrench?

[@coreybabcock2023]

Use a Pittsburgh lol

[@CHILEROVAVOSSONTAYPELICO.]

Gracias me gusto tu vídeo

[@josuemontano9600]

Thanks a lot Man!!!

[@normanhosford2506]

Thanks for your video. It wasn't raining today, so I took mine out the bottom after seeing your struggle with the top method. Every KZbinr seems to ignore the installation of the new alternator. I had a snag there because my "re-manufactured" alternator's bushing was not flush and the made the alternator opening too small to fit over the the slotted mount. After a squeezing the bushing flush with a puller-made from a bolt, nut, and spare socket, it all went together easily. I'll bet a brand new alternator would not have the problem.

[@jackren3280]

read some pretty bad reviews on amazon about the part. I believe you get what you pay for. The advanced auto parts guy showed Me one for $230. If I'm not really on a tight budget would you recommend just going ahead and getting that one vs this cheaper $100 one?

[@desertfox7989]

Where the hell did you see bad reviews? I see nothing but good and 1 bad?

[@Geonious]

Keep in mind, auto parts stores mark up products approx 33%. I got a rebuilt OEM alternator (free S&H) from eBay for $78 and a 1yr warranty.

[@r.joseph8911]

@@Geonious which seller had it for 78 bucks? I just had one fail. Thanks man

[@christianboyden7426]

The most fucked up design, I hate how they designed this car and part positioning

[@evilgenius97]

15 minutes by flashlight is a good time while talking

[@dc2280]

Not easy but great if you don't have a jack.

[@coreybabcock2023]

I never work in the dark and rain customer has to pay triple for me to do that

Comes out from the bottom take the shield or two out she comes right out

Anybody know what kind of connector I need

[@adanjuarezjr5135]

Nope

[@irisbaez1972]

The designer wasn't made it to remove the front top but button.

[@KingBoxingandFitness]

Much easier to do it from the bottom took 45 mins tops . This way u doin seems way more complicated

[@smakd3070]

His video is only 19 minutes I'd say that's easier and faster than 45 mins 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

[@AllaboutGlamping]

My gearwrench got stuck 🤬

[@TheeApple]

Hahaha mine did to on the bottom pivot bolt but got it done nonetheless

[@christinacook3508]
