Easy Alternator and Belt Replacement 😎 (Toyota Camry 2007 - 2011)

[@jonathansherwood5841]

Instructions unclear; where is the part when I pay you to do the job for me? Also, are you sure that's a ground @at 4:17? 🤔 Love ya, man.

[@edtheoldtechguy]

I would love to do it for you brother! Ouch! I just checked and you are right I misspoke on that one, Let's chat that one up on Tuesday!

[@Funkafella01]

Great instruction video! No fluff got right to the point didn’t over explain, and tells you exactly what you need to know. Thank you!

That's a 14mm socket for the tensioner pulley. The Harbor Freight/Pittsburgh serpentine tool kIt does not come with a 14mm socket and it is difficult to use the 14mm crowfoot attachment that does come with the set. Was easy enough to loosen the belt but getting it back on had to go at it at an angle from the top with the wrench pointing down to torque enough to get the belt back on the water pump pulley. Thanks for the video, was a big help!!

[@b1657568]

Thanks for the 14mm info!!

[@billbeckett1021]

Great job! Keep it simple!!Keep it real!! The trait of a great instructor!

Just plain awesome video, a life /time saver😊

[@johns.8220]

That diagram is still way better than I would have drawn it....anyway, MANY thanks for this.

[@darinsapp3338]

Personally, I didnt have to take off the wheel or guard to do it :) it would make it easier, but i got skinny arms and hands and it was much quicker to do without. Perfect video man you earned a sub! I got an 07 camry so if you have more videos on it I'll use you as reference 👍

[@user-zr1cr5kv2e]

Thanks Ed, nicely done!

[@extremecountrymusic]

Great Vid! Clear and to the point. Thank you for your work in doing this.

[@edtheoldtechguy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@midatlantictools]

Great job Ed.. Keep the videos coming..!

[@edtheoldtechguy]

You got it!

[@topbossrecords]

Thank you bro

[@t6tools]

Do most Toyotas have those boat style battery clamps?

[@edtheoldtechguy]

Not sure bro, This is how it came.

[@DaveStar573]

Does anyone have the part number for the belt for a 2011?

[@edtheoldtechguy]

I think you need to specify cylinder amount liter and a bit more info

[@Kiron2430]

Awesome video. Best one on this job.

[@edtheoldtechguy]

Wow, thanks!

[@DaveStar573]

Does anyone have the torque for the alternator bolts?

[@edtheoldtechguy]

The 10mm ground nut goes on snug, the bottom bolt is usually torqued 16ft-lbs and the top is 38ft-lbs

[@Lovetovote]

When releasing tension do you go counter clock wise? Or keep going clockwise?

[@edtheoldtechguy]

counter clockwise or if using a flat bar toward the cab.

[@junzilla13]

Inaccurate. This is for 2007-2009 models. The 2010-2011 models have two belts not one

[@rayflores8411]

We’re you get the alternator? Thanks for sharing.usa

[@edtheoldtechguy]

O'Reilly Auto Parts customer didn't want to pop for the Toyota one

[@CountryMileGarage]

Chris Fix #2 lol you sure that was a ground ? Very clear instructions

[@edtheoldtechguy]

Theo my brother, It is not a ground😂😂🤣🤣😃😃! I misspoke but left it in there after Jonathan Sherwood caught it. You are the second to catch it thank you. I am leaving it in there for the COuncil to have something else to roast me on.

[@CountryMileGarage]

@@edtheoldtechguy don't worry we will roast you Ed after all you are a engineer who likes Honda Ridgelines lolol good stuff my friend

[@handsonmechanical]

Maybe I missed it but how did you determine the alternator needed replacing? Job well done 👍

[@edtheoldtechguy]

The old alternator was providing under 11.5 volts, I was expecting 13V ~14V and while inspecting the vehicle turned off while idling. Battery tested good but vehicle kept dying. Customer complaint was car dying and lights dimmed, radio slowly died they mentioned Batt light came on.

[@bocutty]

Why did put the lug nuts on backwards

[@edtheoldtechguy]

To see who was paying attention. I always leave some mistake in my videos to see who can catch it LOL its fun and its like where's waldo 🤐😜

[@mr.t9438]

Thank you for the video.. Go out and get the serpentine belt tool kit, it make the job so much easier and its only $20 at Harbor Freight!

[@erastroreyes2424]

I WANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN HELP ME I LIVE IN SOUTH TX AND I GOT A CAMRY 2002 AND I CAN NOT LET IS START PLEASE HELP ME OUT

[@edtheoldtechguy]

What is the car doing? Always start with the basics power, spark, fuel and air. Do you have a code reader or check engine light on? I cant officially give advice but I can guess with you.

[@MrHowieZ1973]

Ed you got to yell at us and wave your hands around like Scotty Kilmer 😜👀

[@edtheoldtechguy]

I will on one of these for laughs for sure!

[@danielbackley9301]

He forgot that part . BTW doing this was a lot easier on 1980s vintage Chevys

[@mlasch1478]

This is a 4 cylinder? My sister's 6 cylinder alternator and brackets etc are much different looking. When I have watched 6 cylinder videos, most have to disassemble the radiator core support, the radiator, and a mess of other things. I sure wish her car was the setup in your video.

[@eastcoastken]

Great tutorial!!!

[@edtheoldtechguy]

Thank you!

[@rogervonschleusingen4603]

THANK-YOU VERY MUCH SIR,, I THINK YOU PUT THE WHEEL LUG NUTS ON BACK WARDS !!

[@edtheoldtechguy]

Glad it helped and we caught it before tightening

[@zerothe3rd]

great vid. just changed my alternator. my 2011 Camry has 2 belts tho.

[@edtheoldtechguy]

If I run into one of those and I have time I'll make another video. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@zerothe3rd]

@@edtheoldtechguy it's not all that different. the tensioner is just in a different place

[@edtheoldtechguy]

Its a trap!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

@@danielbackley9301 Yeah Ed! I don't know how you can sleep at night....and No, there is no such thing as a Socket Fairy ...that's just a fairy tale that started at the MAC Tools Christmas party. (They were introducing a new line of tooth fairy items for dentists that year).

[@MoEternity96]

Thank you. You saving me from paying 600 to fix a simple problem.

[@MrJoeltrain]

WATCH OUT FOR THE NIPPLE ON THE RADIATOR THAT HAS THE HOSE TO THE OVERFLOW RES. VERY EASY TO SNAP THAT OFF. THE ONLY FIX FOR THAT IS A NEW RADIATOR

[@edtheoldtechguy]

Good call thank you!

[@peterrudy9207]

If you could be putting in the belt with " clean " hands . I think would be better than possibly getting dirt , grease , etc onto the belt .

[@KayCutta225]

Never said the size of bolt 6:10

[@edtheoldtechguy]

Nice catch! tough to get all the details in a video like this. I beleive its a 12mm as well

[@clinteatwood921]

Please wear insulating gloves while touching the terminals of the battery. It's not the battery due to the low 12V, but you can get shocked from other electrical components inside the car.

[@edtheoldtechguy]

Good advice

[@rogervonschleusingen4603]

NO NOT REALLY, YOUR SAFE , JUST SCARED !!

[@JUBABU4]

Thank you for sharing the socket Size ? DUH

[@edtheoldtechguy]

Which socket size was not shared? I believe I call out 10mm multiple times and other sizes. If I missed one you should know making these videos is not easy and mistakes happen all the time. No way I can make everyone happy.
