Just to add to the video: the tie rod end can be very temperamental. I turned the castle nut upside down and threaded it almost all the way on. After soaking it with penetrating lubricant, hit the tie rod bolt until it let go finally(I spent an hour trying various other methods). Great video guys!!! Just wanted to add some details for those who might not have some specialty tools!!

JUST REPLACED ONE TODAY. HERE UP NORTH, A LOT OF THE TIME, THE CV AXLE WILL BE SEIZED INTO THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. SO INSTEAD OF REMOVING THE CV AXLE, I PLACED A JACK WITH A WOODEN BLOCK UNDER THE ENGINE OIL PAN, REMOVED THE RIGHT SIDE ENGINE MOUNT AND LOWERED THE ENGINE UNTIL I HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO PULL OUT THE ALTERNATOR. TO ME, IT SEEMED EASIER. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Where were you when I had to do mine. I had no book to go by. I am glad you got it out easier. looks like you have a lift. I did it from ground level. I know you saw my video and I glad it helped.

[@OzMechanics]

Hey thanks for watching. Please feel free to subscribe. I did take the time to watch your video. It did help

[@lionofjudah2999]

I got an 06 Tuscan . Is this the same?

[@OzMechanics]

+Dark Matter I believe it is the same one if I'm not mistaken

[@lionofjudah2999]

Oz Mechanics Thank Your for providing this service Oz. Its been a big help.

[@theakhamknight3223]

yes u made it so i can understand thank you

[@74santon]

Today I replaced the alternator on 2009 Tucson, using your method. Without removing the inner CV axle it was impossible to remove the alternator. Thank you!

[@robk2670]

Thanks for the video. Fiance's Tuscon just blew the alternator on the way to work this morning so I will be replacing it later today.

[@tfboxy75]

I found an even quicker way in a 2008. After removing the bolts and tensioner for the alternator, if you unhook your oil filter the alternator will slide out from underneath. Just have to turn it the correct way and it slides right out. As long as the front right is jacked up to get the under shield off, you can reach all the bolts from underneath. Didn't take tire off at all. I did unhook the wheel well enough to slide the bottom bolt off (two 10mm bolts) because the bottom of the alternator was so tight it wouldn't slide up. Big screwdriver and it pried right off.

[@OzMechanics]

Awesome 😎

[@brendawegmann7364]

Don't think it's going to include my 2007 because it's designed differently can someone please help

Best video on this on KZbin, or would be if it didn’t kind of gloss over how to remove the CV boot, and how to separate the axle, then how to put it back together. I have the two bolts off and the tie rod disconnected, and the brake line loose (your video still shows the caliper in place?) but not 100% on what to do next. Guess I’ll just start yanking on stuff. 😉. Two minutes more for non mechanics would have really helped. I have the alternator completely loose but can’t get it out. Thanks.

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

Hey there, does this work with a 2005 tucson, 2.7L v6

[@destruxxx]

Thanks for this, I saved my customer a lot of money doing it this way. She was really upset because another shop just changed it with a reman alt and it was bad already and she just moved here and couldn't take it back to them for labor warranty.

[@fleeshawn11]

Is this for a 4 cylinder ?

[@ariannaclark5876]

Hey man.. I'm havin an issue getting my tensioner loose? U skipped over that part pretty quickly.

[@Jaxjag904]

Thanks for the video. Worked like a charm.

is taking off a alternator off a 2011 hyundai tuson proedure the same . ? thanks

[@BR549DBH]

I working on a new problem with my 2005 Tucson. Several screws inside the upper intake back out of the rod that controls the air. Three dampeners or butterfly valves and 6 screws where bouncing around inside. One screw made it's way into cylinder 4 and bent one of the intake valves. It messed up the head a little. All the damage was inside the firing chamber. I did a valve job and check the head for warping. It was fine. I should have it buttoned up tomorrow.

[@OzMechanics]

Man sorry to hear that. Hate when they make poor quality parts that can cause engine problems

[@olchanselo]

Doing one right now😒 Thanks for you video!

[@tonywestvirginia]

Me too!

[@martycoolguy6933]

is that the petrol version, the diesel version,just pop the bonnet,top bracket bottom long bolt,power wire,and two banjo bolts for vacuum feed,one clip for bottom pipe,edge the belt off.

[@mronemanband1]

why couldn't you just loosen up the two sub frame bolts on passengerside and lower sub frame an inch for clearance ?

[@singingcowboy674]

I’m a simple man, that’s still too much work

Alejandro Gomez heck yea it is

[@nilemccoy7698]

Was the vehicle 2WD or 4WD, please?

[@OzMechanics]

[@jasoncooper9150]

I don't know why you would take all that off. You can remove the plastic cover on bottom and take off your oil filter and it will come right out. So much simpler.

[@OzMechanics]

Jason I tried that and wouldn’t works. But thanks for the advise

[@jasoncooper9150]

Maybe different on another model than I have. But that is the way I did it this morning. It was on a GLS front wheel drive.

[@peterjoseph8606]

Thank you!

Wtf remove the brake line to change thr alternator???

[@ds9581]

What about a 2012 yr

[@daniellajeunesse1817]

alternator will come out without doing all this had mine out and back in 55 minutes no lift on the floor

[@juaniglesias6375]

Did you had any trouble with it coming off? I'm trying to change mine, got the bolts off, everything disconnected, but it won't budge off the bottom.

[@daniellajeunesse1817]

no a large screwdriver to pry it up a bit out of bracket them turn alternator around backwards to come out

[@officebyjustin]

Without removing the axle? Would love to hear how you did it. There's nowhere for it to go without removing SOMETHING.

[@juaniglesias6375]

Justin Ritchie..yeah, for mine (2011 Tucson) just had to lift the right side, take the bottom cover and right side cover, disconnect all the alternator's wiring, disconnect the air conditioning lines. the bottom bolt just sits there in a U channel, so once you take the top bolt off, tap it to come off , rotate, and slide out by where the AC lines go by. just make sure if it's a rebuild or new, your sleeves are matched to the old one. I spent a hell of a time trying to fit the new one in because the sleeves were pressed in too deep.

[@destruxxx]

@@juaniglesias6375 2011 is a different generation and doesn't have the same problem as the first gen 04-09. That's why it was so much easier.

[@pressureflipin1992]

That is absolutely the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Why in the fuck do they make it so fucking hard to take the alternator off???? I had a 93 olds mobile and it took me 4 minutes to undo the bolts and the wires and replace it with a new one and another 4 minutes to put it all back. I take shits longer than that. That's just nuts.

[@OzMechanics]

Because the engineers love to see us struggle

I just dropped the top engine support and tie rod thats all......15 min. Tops.........off & on...
