This video is still just as relevant and incredibly useful in 2023 ! Just finished replacing the alternator on my '05 Elantra, though it was much more of a pain because of the age of the car and the fact that I had to use a third of a WD-40 can to get everything loosened up. Thanks a lot guys !

[@untrnunvslst1]

as the owner of an 01 hyundai elantra, this video series has already saved me $2k. just got a 600$ estimate to replace my alternator and belt and another 600$ for a front passenger wheel bearing... You will have saved me 3K+ now

Great who is here 2024 😅👍

[@bowdvideo]

For clarification, the bottom bracket is an open "C". No need to remove long mounting bolt. Just loosen it, and alt will swing out. Just did my alternator and it took me a few extra minutes to figure it out. Great video though! Thanks!!!

[@Cockerham]

As others have said, great video. Replaced the alternator in my 99 elantra with no problems. It was a little too tight on the path up, so I went down and squeaked it by the oil filter. So much of auto repair is having the confidence to order the part and try it! Thank you!

[@davidjimenez3756]

I will be replacing the alternator on my sisters 99 elantra. Any other issues I should be aware of?

[@zztom99353]

My friends were trying to replace an alternator in a 2005 Elantra. I watched as they fought trying to get the old one out. I came inside, googled this video and went back and walked them thru an easy exchange. Too funny. (They did not think to remove radiator fan) Great video.

[@1AAuto]

Tom S Way to show them how it's done. We're glad the video helped you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@Dakiel333]

Awesome video, because of this I saved almost 500 dollars and did it myself. Thanks so much!

[@everready19373]

A couple other tips: I pulled the coolant overflow top off and rotated the adjacent hose clamp to the 9 o'clock position. That gives you more room to get the belt back on.

[@puszyPOPpunk87]

Changed my 2005 Hyundai elantra GT alternator on (05 - 01 - 2015). Great video, thanks for sharing and putting in time to create these. This video enabled me the confidence to learn, purchase and do the job myself. Biggest issues was taking the bolt out from the lower part of the alternator. Had to wiggle the alernator around, back and forth; to loosen the bolt to pull. Looking forward to putting In small jobs on my ride. Thanks again!

[@1AAuto]

Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@Sunni4lyf]

my plug over the alternator bolt isn't moving, what are you pressing on to get it off ?

[@epajir1300]

Put a thin piece of cardboard over back of radiator so alt. Don't damage it coming out.

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for the added tip!

[@artvuilleumier5702]

good idea ...

[@puszyPOPpunk87]

I wish I would of read the comments before I finished the job... i rubbed the alternator on the radiator while trying to take it out. Caused little cosmetic damage. Great tip! Thanks for sharing.

[@everready19373]

Great tip. Thanks for sharing.

[@LizardMods]

4 years later and people are thinking you. thank you.

[@davidorgill9348]

This video was very helpful. I was able to change my alternator today on our 2006 Elantra in my driveway with the assistance of this video. Had to take of the front left tire and jack up the car, but all went well and my car is running. Good stuff, thank you!

[@michaelzuro6723]

Thanks for all the great videos. I tell all my associates to buy from you guys. It's the least we can do for your efforts on the instructional videos.

[@iniquityschild]

So, the video is prety good buit you skipped over the one problem I'm having: getting out the bolt at the bottom. Why include a bunch of ratcheting and leave that out?

[@Joetedder115]

Your the man. It would have taken me twice as long without this video.

[@1AAuto]

+Joe Tedder You're welcome! Thanks for watching 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@learningtofry]

This is my second time using this extremely helpful video for an alternator swap and I thank you so much for taking the time to break this replacement job down. I have a question about the alternator belt: does it just go on the two pulleys, the alternator and the crank, or does it also go on a third pulley (maybe that one is the AC or water pump?) thank you again for this life saving video. I would not be able to get to work and get paid without it.

[@tomf6vi]

thanks for the video it took me a little while to do because it was my first time changing an alternator but with you help I knock it out

[@yas4955]

Thanks you saved me a lot of money and I know how to change my alternator.

[@bowdvideo]

Thank you sooooo much!! Never would have thought about the fan removal!

[@MrGREGASAURUS]

Thank you guys so much for all your great videos!! My 2005 Elantra thanks you as well!!

[@1AAuto]

[@04azgoat]

Thank you very much for the how to video. Had the swap done in 45 minutes due to the excellent instructions you provided in the video.

[@joebitter5046]

showed me the one thing I wasn't sure about. well done video.

We're glad the video helped you out. Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@celtic2185]

So I followed everystep of the way and the first time I did this it was squeaking and I thought the bet was to tight (which it was) so I loosened it now the battery light is on and my steering wheel is hard to turn. Could this be a result of the belt?! That’s the only problem i have right now also will a loose belt cause the steering wheel problem I’m mentioning because I didn’t have this problem before.

[@dspiffy]

Thanks guys! My first time using a video, and it was very helpful! I really appreciate it!

[@MultiScorpio91]

Nissan elantra 😂

[@maxodorestant9053]

Funny uhhh

[@jimmygonzales2654]

I know I caught that

[@holagabriel]

Hello, master. What is this wire? or where does it come from? 6:48 That cable is directly connected to the positive pole of the battery?

[@calvingilmore4380]

Can I replace it without having the car lifted in a shop? I'm tight on money but I have the belt.

[@1AAuto]

+Calvin Gilmore Thank you for checking us out. Yes, you may perform the replacement on the ground with no issues! 1aauto.com

[@cherrylynn7173]

Glad you asked this question. I was wondering the same thing

[@kevinhussey2106]

Good video. But before you replace your alternator, check that the alt is still grounded. This alt must be grounded in order for it to work. If rust builds up on it, it can appear to go bad.

[@quintislitsey608]

How tight do I need to tighten the tensioner bolt back once done ?

[@amandalaquet7040]

Good video. . You guys always have 1 of the best videos

[@MrJumanji33]

My alternator seems to be doing fine but I noticed all electronics are firing way too much. The amount of power coming through is too high. I took a voltmeter to my battery at standstill and confirmed it was being charged to an unsafe level. I ordered a new voltage regulator. I can see the part on the side of the alternator from when you removed it. Do you think this is an easy swapping of the regulator inside the case if I follow the steps here?

[@juandedios7493]

[@bardos]

Great video! Was there overlapping video just after the alternator removal?

[@1AAuto]

+bardos It looks like there may have been. Sorry for the confusion. Have a great day! 1aauto.com

[@alvarosoto541]

Hi I just wanted to ask if you can tell me how I can replace a starter for a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. Thank you.

[@Rzormc]

I'm having trouble getting the generator around the transmission pump on my Subaru f250, any suggestions?..

[@mrog71]

This video was SUPER helpful. Thank you!

[@TheCNYGreg]

Great video! Got my frozen alternator out in almost no time (except the one bastard bolt on the fan ). Now to beat on it with a hammer, until it works, or I feel better!

[@brandonthames7597]

Note if you take the heat plat off as well it may make it easier to pull out.

[@clusterreduction6092]

Thanks for the video, it was a great help.......BUT Who the hell gave this video 12 thumbs down?

[@AmericanThunder]

Probably because of the gloves? lol

[@johnletshoha6179]

you guys are doing good job I give you salute guy thanks

[@grantgray4246]

You said at the beginning of the video that it is a Nissan Elantra. Ooops. Thank you for the radiator fan removal suggestion. I saw another video that said that you had to remove the oil filter and unbolt the radiator to get it out.

[@donniesanders923]

Thank You so much . Done in under a hour.

[@ELITEmyfrat]

Either I missed a bolt or mine must be in there really tight. I followed everything you said and when it came time to pull it out it wouldn't

[@robertj.wiltshire1553]

My alternator will swing up and down, not quite far enough to get the belt off. The lower bolt next to the electrical switches does not seem to come out,I heard you say something about a compression fitting, what should i do?

[@1AAuto]

If you can remove the lower bolt as shown in the video it should help you out.

[@robertj.wiltshire2264]

1A Auto Parts I have it fixed now, I couldn't do it myself. Sorry you guys couldn't help, although I appreciate you trying. The lower bolt WOULDN'T come out, that was the issue. It was really just a seized bolt, needed a lot more whacking with a hammer.

[@olee_stunts]

Excellent video thank you guys very much

[@desertrider325]

Is there enough room to replace the voltage regulator without removing the Alt.?

[@1AAuto]

+Colin Anderson Thanks for watching. You may be able to remove the voltage regulator on the vehicle without removing the alternator, but due to other hoses and pieces it may be easier to dismount the entire alternator. 1aauto.com

[@mr.t9438]

I took out the coolant reservoir tank, cooling fan and heat plate so much easier to take out the alternator

[@1AAuto]

[@MrsDulzra73]

Great video, very helpful. The only thing is my Elantra was made by Hyundai. Does this video work for that make and model too? I didn't realize that Nissan made an Elantra as well. That's awfully confusing.

[@1AAuto]

It actually is a Hyundai Elantra in this video. I just misspoke, there. Sorry for the confusion. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

I try to take out the fan but the screw keep going round and round does come out shat should I do

yup had to add to it.. Nissan elantra🤪 thank you for vid guys

[@ap8057]

I expected better video from 1a Auto. Normally the videos are well lit and everything is fairly easy to see. Use some flashlights please

[@johnjohnson8074]

Good easy information

[@nousernamestaken]

you skipped explaining the step on how you take it out! how many bolts, what size wrench, etc. it just jumps to you pulling it out \

[@1AAuto]

+nousernamestaken There are a couple 12mm and 10m bolts. A written list of the instructions can be found here: www.1aauto.com/how-to-install-replace-alternator-2001-06-hyundai-elantra-2.0l/video/2927

[@defmud80]

Does the bottom long bolt have room to slide put or do you have to remove the plastic shield or anything else? I just found that my wife car 2002 elantra is missing the bottom nut and the tensioner and the belt is making nasty noise

[@yungkidnf]

does anybody kno how this transfers to the 07+ elantras?

[@djoel81]

yungkidnf Did you ever find out? I gotta do this repair this week. tgx

[@yungkidnf]

Dustin Lewis I did it, detaching is easy, REMOVING is difficult, you MAY have to Jack the car up an remove the front passenger side wheel to loosen the bottom bolt, but the alternator bracket and oil filter are in the way of removing it from the top or bottem, I had to wrestle it out and the new one back in, other than that, it's pretty simple. done on an 08 sedan btw

[@djoel81]

yungkidnf good to know. thanks

[@yungkidnf]

No prob

[@Johnnyboycurtis]

Great video!

[@1AAuto]

+Johnnyboycurtis Thank you!

[@frankvalenzuela1953]

is this the same way to take it off a accent

[@henryjames8654]

1A auto, there is a MUCH easier way to remove the alternator. Remove the oil filter, it falls out the bottom.

coming from a tech who dont a long time. either put something to protect radiator like cardboard. or spend the 20 mins remove radiator. thats a 200$ item to be doing that too.

I think you skipped the part about getting the bottom bolt out.

[@banshee2014]

Did anyone notice those gloves just ripping apart tho?

[@chrisc6874]

yeah i was gonna say how those gloves working out for him LOL. thats why i use hand cleaner after. Too many tight spots.
