Some hints for people who will attempt this. I had to move the alternator up and down to loosen but it was not enough to remove it with my hands. I had to use a crow bar to get the alternator out of the place where the bottom bolt went through. Do it carefully and don't touch the pully nearby. In regards to pulling it out all together, i almost gave up because it was not coming straight out. I did have to turn it and angle it out. I wish he would have shown him doing the work but i am grateful for the shortcut.

@dabatte6 жыл бұрын
So thankfully this video exists, I did the job today on my sons 2003 Accord. A few tips. One other person posting here had the same issue I did. It would hang up on something after removing the upper and lower bolts. Just wiggling it does not help. You need to rotate it upward as you lift up on the alternator. The bottom bolt hole on the alternator is nested between two guide holes with the back one being the threaded one. Second, unless you remove the upper bracket that the upper bolt and wire harness is bolted to, the alternator is never going to come out. Extremely tight. Take a picture of it before you remove the bracket so you can see how to put it back.Third, when replacing the alternator, I would replace the back cable first as trying to hold the lock washer and nut with one hand in the limited space is very difficult once the alternator is back in place. It took me two hours to do the job. I couldn't have done it without this video.

I have a 2003 Accord v6. I just did this job tonight. I had to remove the fan. No 2 ways about it. The alternator was just slightly different than the one shown in this video (connections in slightly different orientation). So either there is a slight difference in the depth of the alternator between the years, or perhaps the one you were pulling was an aftermarket vs me pulling the OEM. I don't know. Would have been nice if I could have pulled it the way you said, but no dice. Now, why did you edit out the portion where you actually removed it? Considering the title of the video, that's just strange. Is it because you had to get brutal with it?
@GarageBoys5 жыл бұрын
I have a video on my “Honda Repairs” Playlist showing how to remove the alternator on a 98-2002 Accord and on that removal you have to take off the fan, no way around that, maybe that’s the one you have? 2) I tried to make the video as short and straight to the point as possible. I didn’t think it was necessary to show how I actually pull out the alternator but it does require some back and fort wiggling. If you read through the comment you will see different responses from different people that did the job. Hope I helped, I do try hard :-)
