Thanks Tony Torques, all the other videos on this alternator replacement were incomplete, really glad I found yours!!! Extremely complete narrative and so helpful with sizes of bolts and insight into difficulties to avoid!!!

I like the part where he was pulling it out, got stuck, paused then tada! Sitting on the intake

[@chadsy7312]

word of advice, sort the oil leak out before changing the alternator, i learnt that the hard way.

[@stevendavis6791]

Thanks for posting, sizes and tools needed was a big help.

[@tonytorques]

No problem! Thanks for the support!

Great vid man, u basically took my alternator out for me😅

[@tonytorques]

Thanks! It’s a little tuff but not bad

[@Sheangly]

It would be a good idea to put something to protect the radiator so it don’t get all busted up

[@tonytorques]

Yes a price of cardboard or wood would be great but I’ve changed this one out 3 times already so really used to it

Don’t have to go through the wheel well, just reach a little further down

[@robruiz1424]

Take the pulley off to get to second bolt

[@tonytorques]

I’ll try that if I ever have to do this job again 🤙🏽

Looks like oil is leaking down under the block there

Mines 2x worse and I have to do the oem alternator on a 06 with 150k. Brake cleaner? Super degreaser soak? Replace all pulleys, new alternator and belt? Is the sludge acting like a gasket? I'm not doing any gaskets. This was a loaded test drive model that all the women in the family (even the "men") were EXTREMELY hard on and I've had to fix since the warranty expired. I've bought it a brand new set of tires 6 months ago that have been in the trunk and backseat. I bought Lifetime alignment at pep boys after I rebuilt the suspension, all they have to do is make an appointment. I know I'm going to punch a hole in the radiator even with cardboard. One guy claims you can't get the bolt out, the other video makes no mention of it. I'm going the remove everything route- tire, plastic, dipstick, every connector, radiator hose 4 brackets. 😢

Oh yea the head gasket seems to have been going out on that car causing the leak. Seems to be a common issue with the higher mileage ones. The leak kept making the alternator go bad so the owner of the vehicle decided to sell it a few months after this video was made.

[@tonytorques]

Oh yes this alternator is pretty tuff compared to other vehicles but if you do what I did in this video it should cover all the steps
