How To Replace Alternator Nissan Titan Armada - Fastest and Easiest Way To Remove Titan Alternator

[@sebonwhite7748]

Hey, your video HELPED me so MUCH . I have a Nissan Armada 2007 I did everything you said , but I did take off the tire that helped me with more room to work .and it only took me two hours. This was my first time taking off an alternator and installing a new one thank you so much. You saved me a lot of money.

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Great to hear! Saved some cash and I bet you feel damn good for fixing your truck yourself!! Awesome!!!

I found this video because I had to replace the alternator on my wife's 2008 QX56 this weekend, and it helped a lot. Thanks. But that's not what I'm commenting about. You mean to tell me there is actually a KZbin car channel run by a Pontiac fan - my favorite marque, see my profile pic for an immediate explanation why - where a great deal of the content is about a 1967 Firebird, and the rest is maintenance and repair and modification tips about a Nissan Titan, which is virtually the same truck as the one my wife drives? AND there are adorable interruptions courtesy of the shop dog? It's like this channel was made just for me. It's everything I want out of a car based KZbin channel! You want to hear the funny part? I just got rid of my 2005 Accord coupe, and as I scrolled down through your video listings, there sits a junkyard revival of exactly the same car, LOL. I wish I had found this place a year ago. The only thing that would make it any better is if you bought a version of the car I replaced the Accord with, an Infiniti G37. A man can dream. But that's a small quibble - thanks for accidentally making my ideal KZbin channel, without even asking me about it first.

Thanks for posting this video. It was inspiration to replace the alternator in my 2007 titan this afternoon. I didn't even need to do the wheel well splash guard thing. I was able to do everything from the bottom. Hardest thing was getting that top bolt to budge. It was originally torqued super tight and, with the force of the breaker bar and socket, I thought I'd either round off the head (12 point 14mm socket) or snap the bolt. I ended up using a 6 point socket and the breaker bar. It fought me the whole way out of the threaded insert. Getting the alternator out was pretty snug and I had to squeeze some of the rubber hoses quite firm to get it through "the birth canal". Great tip about getting that lower mount bracket out of the way. It had three bolts in it. After removing the alternator bolt, I removed the next closest bolt and loosened the third one just enough to swing the bracket out of the way. Getting the new one in was really snug and required some thought to position the ears to get it through all while you're fighting gravity too. Thanks again for the vid.

Glad my video helped you out!!!

[@markdamaniac1748]

Great tutorial!! First time ever changing a alternator and you made it much easier that others that were talking about taking the fan off and a whole platera of stuff!

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Glad it helped... I saw what others were doing and I was LIKE NOPE... gotta be a better way!!

[@angelmoreno8000]

Freaking awesome video brother!! Keep up the great work

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Thanks brother!!!

[@dvd11blue]

You absolutely rock, I did this exactly as you did and with a little cussing it worked perfectly thank you so much

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Glad I could help, appreciate you dropping a comment! Thank you!

[@davidjackson9977]

I'm glad to see this confirmed. I disconnected everything from the alternator and only have half of the long bolt left to pull out. I took a meal break while thinking, "I bet I can get that alternator out from underneath". So, while eating a bowl of shrimp wanton noodles, I found your video. Yep, forget taking all the extra stuff off above the alternator. Why make it harder than it needs to be?

[@ArrowheadGarage]

hahahahah glad my video could help you out!!! Now am hungry for shrimp and wanton noodles lol

[@theomegawerty9688]

Can confirm. Was able to take alternator out the bottom, with some finagling around the hoses. However on resinstall i removed one of the bottom hoses for ease, which was a simple tension clip, hose removal and pount the hose up so not to drain. This made going back is much easier as didnt have to finagle while figthing the weight of the part. From start to finish was 4 hours which included all setup/cleanup and having to grind my armor plate bolts off as the allen key heads were stripped. Also I didnt even use the wheel well to access any parts, however indid open it up, it ended up serving as exta light. Overall this was a straightforward and easy repair compared to other things I've encountered working on my Titan

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Glad you enjoyed the video and it helped out!

[@RippedRobby]

How are you guys getting it out from the bottom 😅 I got it all out but it's stuck, doesn't seem enough room to get it out from the bottom

[@Bravingtheoutdoors-so2ri]

I have an 07 Infiniti qx56 my wire in my clip to alternater came out is anyway u could shed some light or a pic of how the wire are supposed to go back into clip correct

[@ArrowheadGarage]

I am bleeding the brakes tomorrow and will take a few photos to show you.

[@marquibebrooks890]

Thank you for this information you are 100% correct. You know what you are telling your subscribers.

[@hunterclapp8474]

I have a 2010 pro-4x with the tranny cooler. I ran into the same issue that @northtrader ran into. I had to wiggle it out while forcing past some hoses. It was uncomfortable but it worked very well. No damage to the lines. Replaced last week and all is good. Still took me about 6 hours to do. Biggest problem was that I had a short breaker bar and no power tools to loosen that 14mm.

[@ArrowheadGarage]

oh yea! I was a Porsche guy until 2020... when my brother passed away and the family gave me his 1967 Firebird... first time working on an American Iron car... but I have to say... I like it!!!!! Thank you so much for your comment, makes the time and effort of putting together these videos so worth it... god knows its not about the KZbin money lol hahahhahaha

[@driftmedia1421]

I can't get the damn 14mm main bolt to break free. Wd40 both ends and breaker bar. Like its welded in.

[@sideways3929]

Use heat🔥

[@JimmyBoy87]

That top 14mm bolt on the alternator is a pain I tried for an hour with and ratchet then I just grabbed a 1/2 impact came right out

[@rchavez1840]

So mine is a 2021 i got it out the bottom but I had to disconnect the power steering hose under the truck

[@davidparker4943]

With the alternator being on the bottom can I safely clean my engine bay without having to put a bag over it?

[@ArrowheadGarage]

You should be fine, just don't go over board around the alternator.

[@davidparker4943]

@@ArrowheadGarageThanks for the reply.

[@robertblack5200]

Where did you take it out at by the fan or what

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Nope dropped it out of the bottom, easy to do.

[@Bravingtheoutdoors-so2ri]

Can’t find nothing online or the dealer or parts places can’t help either

[@ArrowheadGarage]

You need the plastic clip that hold the wiring harness right?

[@donaldhalls2189]

Thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@johnquinones5777]

Yes Sir, I’m using your. VIdeo as reference. Ordering alternator today. Will let you know how it goes.

[@ArrowheadGarage]

How did the R&R go for you?

[@mrpaulvoline1978]

That was the worst. See we all can make a detailed video and at the moment we need to see exactly how that alternator comes out ,he just pulls it out. BAD!!!!

[@SWB_mike]

What were the signs you needed a new alternator

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Normal voltage while running should be about 13.5+ mine was around 11.9 which means the alternator isn’t working. Hope this helps

[@SWB_mike]

@@ArrowheadGarage I got a whinny noise and it shut off in the middle of driving what you think 🤔

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Could be a weld or a bearing on one of your pullies going out! Take windex and spray each pully and when it stops you found the one to replace

[@SWB_mike]

@@ArrowheadGarage thanks for the tips

[@robl7347]

my sign was that the brake and battery light were both on. I googled it and it said bad alternator.

[@lisam4631]

This should work for a Infiniti QX 56 as well

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Yes it should!

[@roldankreais1816]

Million dollar question, how are you supposed to get it back in

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Just watch the video backwards lol JK it’s just the reverse of taking it out. It goes back in easier that is for sure.

[@kinghumpfrees]

@@ArrowheadGarageHA! watch it backwards!! love it!! 😂🤣

[@lisam4631]

Yes, I would have loved to see a video of him putting it back on.

[@GarrettChumchal]

Thank you sir here goes nothin

[@TylerAndeson]

Love how he didnt show how to remove the main disconnect......I cannot get a ratchet on the bolt.

[@tlbritcher6865]

Thanks but audio levels
