@ 19:10 "cha-ching bad guy!" I'm💀!🤣 Seriously tho this is a great video! I have to replace my husband's on Monday (I'm the car girl. He finds all this too complex). Hopefully all goes well and it's the right part! I tried triple checking w/o seeing the car. I really needed this video because every time something breaks on this car, it's all bolted in weird and excessively. I think they designed it that way so you would have to go to one of their mechanics 🙄 On this car I've replaced the starter, a brake line, the thermostat, the gas pump, 2 calipers, 3 batteries, 2 door handles, and the driver window/lock control panel. This on top of the regular maintenance/replacement of oil, tires, and brakes. It also needs a new float for the gas gauge, but the tank is so rusted, i don't wanna risk taking it off again w/o the money to replace it. I'm just so done with this car. 😪 I told my husband he's never allowed to buy a hyundai again 🤦🏻‍♀️ If all goes well, thank you for making this video! I'm glad I'm not the only one that struggles to take things out of this car 😆

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yeah this one is complicated not so bad but defiantly it’s all bolted kinda crappy

[@RainingRetro]

@RBTheMechanic EXACTLY! I had to remove 27 screws, 6 snaps, and 4 electric plugs to get to the driver door, window control panel. Half the screws were hidden and a few needed an off-set screwdriver to reach. Absolutely excessive

What is the top part on top of the alternator called ?

[@RBTheMechanic]

What u mean too it’s around. There’s pully. Stator. Armature diod

[@oslozoya1]

Is it the same for the limited model 2012?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Should be same

[@oslozoya1]

@@RBTheMechanic me n pops trying to get it out now.

[@oslozoya1]

So it ended up testing bad on a device and passed on computer...I ended up getting a new one anyways...it could be my cars staying on after I get out...or..well I have a 5 channel amp system...but it's not a big system...could be not turning off properly...idk... alternator is 12 years old so idk.

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@oslozoya1 yea 12 is long time I guess time for new one!!

[@oslozoya1]

@@RBTheMechanic yea i just ended up getting it cuz it was alot of work to take it out and i wasnt bout to do that to my pops then if it was bad sheesh..lol..

[@joehyundaitech7961]

it is way eyser to remove the bolt from the back after you have moved the alt to the side or upside down take the two main bolts out first

[@butterflydoze]

So was the old alternator seized up where it wouldn't turn?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yup jammed

[@jnthy6202]

Is it possible to do this without lifting the vehicle?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yeah u gonna have to some how some way ready down on bottom bolt shouldn’t be hard

[@joseprice4223]

Same question as first. What if power steering pump positioned over top of alternator. It’s a 2009 Hyundai Sonata

[@RBTheMechanic]

Remove the pump lift it up first

[@robertaraujo4516]

How long should it take to replace alternator

[@RBTheMechanic]

No more than 2 hrs

[@MrFz1000]

Hate to say I took it out from the top You take the hose off that you did and 2 more on the valve above it just move it and you can take it from the top

[@RBTheMechanic]

Oh ok thank you for ur input

[@sheldonjarrett5167]

What if your power steering pump sits on top of your alternator

[@RBTheMechanic]

What year is ur car

[@ADinoTsuarus]

What if you tested the alternator 11years old they say it's good. The battery is brand new but still draining.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Idk what ur asking me y did they check alternator

[@anthonyortiz4538]

Why not undo the passenger motor mount and jack it up from pan a little to avoid this

[@anthonyortiz4538]

Did way too much, time is money in the shop pop the motor mount bolt jack up 3 inches done

[@RBTheMechanic]

No need to

[@anthonyortiz4538]

@@RBTheMechanic so you did so many extra steps for nothing?

[@rickyschwiderson7737]

gasoline boils at 140 degrees Fahrenheit you need to get copper coil 12v immersion heater and start vaporizing your stored gas vapor low pressure system

[@327JohnnySS]

Go with a kia sorento alternator that fits and has a higher amperage rating output.
