Honda CRV alternator replacement

[@JohnBukenas]

Great video! After watching this I immediately called my local mechanic and had him do it. I would have ran out of curse words replacing it.

Whaoooo you did that so well and. And after it all work just fine Thanks for the video. It’s very helpful. I just got that same problem 👎on my CRV 2000.

How did he get the alternator out, while leaving the top long bolt in place, without removing the overflow reservoir

[@scrapdaddysgarage5027]

I loosened the bolt, but you can’t take it out, if you watch carefully you will see the bolt is still in the alternator when it is removed from the car. Thanks for watching!

Very nice detailed video 👍

I have an 04 crv on the original alternator. Expecting it to go any day now.

[@scrapdaddysgarage5027]

Be prepared, Thanks for watching 👍

[@libtrs838]

I did alternator on my 07 and girlfriends 04 this year and did my starter last year. You might be in for both soonish.

[@factotumted]

Aren't there bolts on the bottom of the plenum? Thanks

[@scrapdaddysgarage5027]

Just what you see from the top, only a wire is attached on the bottom. Thanks for watching.

[@gtzrg]

no need to remove all those components!! remove water reservoir, cooling fan (passenger side) and radiator mount, belt, and that"s it !!

[@antcamp81]

Thank you for your help ❤😊

The bolts on the bottom of the alternator are easy to strip.

[@guythecookingsam2588]

Mine both broke off. Luckily, with some PB Blaster and vice grips they came out. The starter and alternator on these cars is a nightmare.

thank you your cat is so cute

[@SuperAudionut]

curious which brand alternator did you install?

[@scrapdaddysgarage5027]

Bought from a local auto electric supplier, I don’t know who made it. Thanks for watching!

[@GBMayne479]

I've been workin on this for 2 days now N I still can't get it.. I'm basically stuck on getting the intake manifold off. I got everything unplugged N loose but it's like it still won't come out

[@scrapdaddysgarage5027]

Not alot of room to remove it, I twisted it to the side just enough to get the alternator out. I feel your pain, hang in there and thanks for watching.

[@GBMayne479]

Well I finally got it reinstalled but didn't fix my problem😭😅 still having a weak start and won't even kick over.

[@tomg6284]

I have 2005 crv, I think the engineers who did this to us should be forced to fix these cars. Just to change the belt is a night mirror.

[@scrapdaddysgarage5027]

I agree! I have a tip for changing the belt in another video “Honda CR-V oil leak repair” Thanks for watching.

[@kingstonzincfence]

The moment he said he gonna take off the plenum I quit watching. I’m not going through all of that 😢

[@scrapdaddysgarage5027]

@@kingstonzincfence it’s not that bad

You are awesome!

[@scrapdaddysgarage5027]

Thanks for watching

[@manuelrys60]

I belive you can remove the bottom bolts from the bottom of the suv !!

[@scrapdaddysgarage5027]

If it does Not have A/C you can. Thanks for watching 👍

[@JimmyBmusic1]

This is absolutely fucking ridiculous to change an alternator out

[@scrapdaddysgarage5027]

I totally agree. Thanks for watching

[@saltycrowgarage7215]

Pulling the plenum is completely unnecessary

[@scrapdaddysgarage5027]

I couldn’t do it any other way. Thanks for watching

[@THeVAND3rLANG]

No it’s not

[@barryclarke3010]

They don't make it easy do they.

[@scrapdaddysgarage5027]

No they don’t. Give me a old American V8, 10 minutes and you’re done.

[@Bringthatover]

I always say, hondas run really tight... but the space to replace parts is even tighter 😂
