When removing the intake, remember to keep a bucket handy to catch the old air left inside

[@GeneralChangOfDanang]

And take it to your local auto parts store to be disposed of properly.

Recently bought a '90 Accord with over 320,000 miles on her. I found your channel the day I bought it and have had a lot of fun following your videos and replacing parts and fluids over the last month (really enjoyed the super flush). Just wanted to say thanks for putting all of these together. Your level of detail and production quality combo is just right! Thanks a lot!

Hey guys, Chris fix here and today we are going to read game of thrones... Chapter 1...

[@ShawnTheDriver]

You're so lucky, Chris, for having your alternator at the top. In my 1997 Mazda 626, the alternator is under the engine towards the back, right above the passenger side front axle. Had to drop the axle out just to take the alternator out since the alternator is too big to fit between all of the wires and the engine and the axle. Such a difficult task, especially seeing that it was the first time I've ever worked on my car by myself. But I'm glad I did it! I definitely see why mechanics charge so much for this job, especially on difficult cars like mine.

[@loughlandwindow5909]

had the same problem with my mums car when i did it

[@edwardmyers1746]

yeah unfortunately some alternators are buried deep in the damn engine bay LOL

Excellent video as usual, Chris! But I was surprised to see that you didn't recommend checking the belt for cracks and general condition while it's loose. This is a good time for replacement if necessary.

Thanks

[@ronaldschroeder8604]

Thanks for your wonderful how-to videos!!I used this video to replace my alternator on my 2008 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2L, 203000 miles. Everything was going good but when I tried to lift out the old alternator, it wouldn't budge. The rusty "sleeves" in the mounting holes seemed to be stuck, I was perplexed. I searched another how-to video and found this helpful tip:To make the process of installing the new alternator easier... there are two sleeve inserts the two bolts go through, in the alternator mounting bracket. These sleeves move and can be easily moved a mm or two by a couple taps with a hammer, going from the engine side towards the bumper side. That pushes/slides each sleeve back a little and creates clearance for the new alternator to easily drop in. Tightening down the bolts again pushes these two sleeves back to a snug fit against the alternator body. [This allowed me to go ahead and PRY the old unit up and out without any further concern about the rusty sleeves.]Hope this helps anyone with a similar concern.

[@LS-mj3qk]

Your instructions to replace car parts is very clear, well done!

[@knurlgnar24]

How easy this is depends on the vehicle. On some Cadillac K bodies for example the alternator is water cooled and stuffed behind the radiator. You need to remove the radiator (which has oil cooler lines, water lines, and transmission lines) to change the alternator and then re-fill and re-assemble. It's a 6 hour job by book labor rate. Not so easy... On other cars it's literally 5 minutes and you're done.

[@chrisfix]

***** Yep! It all depends! Usually when you can easily see the alternator and it is up top, it is an easy job!

[@Coen80]

yeah, it can be a pain, some also have like oil-vacuum-pumps attached and are buried somewhere in middle-earth..

I found this video very helpful man. I had to replace the alternator on my truck cause a couple owners ago they put on one with a skinnier pully. Totally tore up the belt too. I watched this video and the only snag I hit was destroying my cheapo harbor freight ratchet. I got a nice one from o’reilly and by the time I got home I had the job done in about 10 minutes.

Honestly you've been my favorite from day one👍🏾👍🏾...🎯"SIMPLICITY"🎯

[@Xanadu245]

Great video. I just did that same job on my 2004 explorer a couple months ago. About the only difference I found was that after removing the bolts, I discovered they only had to be loosened a few turns to get the alternator out as it just rested on the horizontal bolts and the bolt head against the face was enough to secure it on the bottom with 2 other bolts on top. On another note, if you're buying the alternator from a local parts supplier, have them test the new alternator before bringing it home to install. Turned out the "new" one they had in stock was bad also and they had to order me one from another store.

[@Xanadu245]

Will be looking into this as an upgrade for my 2002 ranger as I'm working on adding some aux lighting as well. backup lights and a 50" light bar. Just gotta fab up some mounts or a headache rack to mount it on. I have a fisher homesteader plow mounted as well, so I may look into a dual battery setup as well

[@UnitCrane514]

Hey Chris, I hope that anti-seize wasn't an aluminum particle based product. Aluminum based anti-seize going into an aluminum threads will corrode and actually act as a lock tight product and will gaul the threads together. I learned that the hard way. I use Copper-Kote anti-seize because it works with all automotive hardware. (as long as its not a copper thread , which is extremely rare on modern vehicles. Great video!

[@stuvs830]

You've helped me so much chris. i appreciate all the videos and extra time you take to teach and show.
