HOW TO REMOVED & REPLACE CHANGE ALTERNATOR LEXUS TOYOTA 3.3L

[@mattharshbarger5359]

This was very helpful, thank you sir! I love the lack of dialog, makes it much easier.

[@nicolearchambeau8744]

Hi thank you. My problem is getting off the bolts. Probably need a better drill mine broke. I sprayed some bllaster on them. Im not sure what to do now..I DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP! I CAN DO THIS.! I dont have the muscles to get it off without my drill. Im broke and i can afford the alternator. If i can't do it myself, well my Lexi will just have to sit until i come up with 5 bones or more. Im just venting. Thanks again..i put in my own starter thanks to people like you. These 3 bolts are making it really hard.

one of the better no frills walkthrough for this particular job. thank you!

Thanks, followed your video and just saved at least $150. Thanks great info

On the 98-00 you have to take off the ps pully, there is a threaded hole on the pump, screw a bolt in it and use that to keep the pully from moving when you try to remove the pully

[@FOTOFOTA]

You should've disconnected the battery cables or just the negative (-_) from the terminals before doing anything else.

[@BEAR-]

You don’t have to take off the radiator hose. Take off the high side AC bracket and move it over.

[@bearing_aficionado]

I just changed mine last night and didn't take off the hose. Just like you said, just take the high side bracket off and moved it over.

[@nicolearchambeau8744]

Great

Can anyone explain how to bet the bottom bolt back into alternator when putting it back in? It has been become overbearingly tedious to try to hold the alternator up while taking the bolt to fine the thread hole without being able to see it in a very tight space. I'm trying to avoid taking the entire radiator out for one bolt if their is a trick to how to put it back in I need it fast, anybody's help would be greatly appreciated on this one even if it's from my own worst enemy if you got the solution please send it immediately 🤔😨😫🙏🙏💓

Sorry to see that nobody replied to you, did you find out how to do it? If so please share with me because I'm about to change my alternator

[@jjsquire706]

@@joeywever9194 It was the most tedious job I've ever had to do. I wasn't successful in getting the bolt back in the traditional way it came out. It's just nearly impossible without having some kind of special torque wrench to apply enough pressure on the bolt to make the reconnection because you can't visibly see what you're doing. Luckily I found an alternate trick that will save you valuable time and hours of frustration. Instead of trying to put the length tensioner bolt back in the same way it came out I ended up going to Lowes hardware and simply bought a similar bolt a little bit longer and a little bit smaller and I decided to put the new bolt back in from the opposite direction and simply use a washer and lock nut to keep it in place. It was so much easier to do it that way and it works just fine. If you have trouble trying to get it back in the traditional way then try putting the new bolt in the opposite way it truly worked out for me. Let me know how things go and hope this helps 👍😎👌

@@joeywever9194 You need to do it from underneath. I did this yesterday. Take off the splash shields. To hold the alternator in place I used a bungee or rope and attach it up top. There is a place on the fire wall perfect to tie to. Then I got underneath and did it by feel. Wasn't bad at all once I got the alternator suppported.

[@johnlibonati7807]

@@trisk_7398 I put it in from underneath too. First, I had to take out the alternator and tap the threads again because I cross threaded it the first time I tried. Then, my tension bolt and block were all rusted and didn’t turn easily. What a pain. An hour job turned into forever.

[@trisk_7398]

@@johnlibonati7807 Yeah, that stinks. I broke a bolt on a transmission solenoid once. About stroked out, but it ended up not being too bad.

[@carlosamorin7989]

Is this an '04 rx330?

[@donniecastleman5701]

I get lost at exactly 10:33, putting the other two bolts in, so far can't see what to do on two videos, on to another but still informative.

[@vadamantium]

What liquid was added and why?

[@HoangTran-ek3to]

Hi. This replace alternator not oil change or change coolant that is not added liquid thank you.

[@echo2u]

I have a a 91 Lexus 400ls I believe it's the same .

[@kruzeko5364]

What sizes did you use?

[@kruzeko5364]

Which way are you rotating the tension bolt to release tension to loosen band

[@bearing_aficionado]

Righty tighty....lefty loosey

how long did it take you to change the alternator?

[@FurhanAhmad]

Legend says he is still working on it;D

Was this a 3.3litre engine?

[@HoangTran-ek3to]

Hi yes is it thank watching video

[@jimmymolinaro7554]

why do people insist on NOT telling you what engine size they'er working on? Ignorant.

[@HoangTran-ek3to]

for 3.0L & 3.3L

[@coachcraigscorner6572]

You made this way harder than it has to be. Rad hose can stay the bracket can stay, the wire loom doesn't need to move. This is a 30 minute job, in the driveway

[@nicolearchambeau8744]

Well you do it..PLEASE and tell me how to get them bolts off. Broke my drill trying..piece of crap anyways...

[@johnlibonati7807]

30 minutes? Yeah right. Not at an RX330 when you have 300,000 miles on it. Thanks. That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all week. 😂😂😂
