Thanks for the video, this was extremely helpfull. I did the whole job today start to finish in about 2 1/2 hours. You saved me a ton of guess work. It worked out smoothly & I didn't even F bomb once which is really good for me 😂

[@carlosmanuel3468]

Hi! Did you have to do anything to the AC after? Like, did you lose freon?

[@joriel360]

@@carlosmanuel3468no you wouldn’t

[@glennleuz7632]

Great video. Thank you. Damn you certainly held it together for a pain in the a$$ job. I probably would have let out a few f bombs🤣🤣

THIS IS ALSO GOOD FOR HYUNDAI SANTA FES. THANKS!

[@fatherx6807]

Question the PS pump how big of a pain to get back in the bracket? And what did you do just wiggle it?

[@AUDIO2AUTO]

Not too bad. I would maybe hit it with a wire brush or sand paper to give it some more clearance to make it easy to get back in its spot.

[@lilrelltha1495]

What kinda tool was you using to unscrew your bolts?

[@AUDIO2AUTO]

Kobalt electric ratcheting wrench

[@jerrylalonde1199]

Helping a friend change alternator got this done .Haveing trouble putting be power stering pump

[@AUDIO2AUTO]

Yea that was the hardest part for me, getting the pump back in its spot.. Took me about a good 20mins

[@jerrylalonde1199]

Thank you for your vid He had the long bold missing .I went found a bolt .All went well . Thank you

[@PastorJimmyParker]

Man, I've done everything you've said to do but the alternator just won't fit out. The AC lines are in the way. How did you get it out?

[@AUDIO2AUTO]

Move the power steering reservoir out the way, and you have to position the alternator just right to slide it out.

[@AUDIO2AUTO]

9:11 Position the alternator the exact way you see in the video when its on its side and slide it in the same way i drop the alternator down.

[@PastorJimmyParker]

@@AUDIO2AUTO I'll give it a shot!

[@PastorJimmyParker]

@@AUDIO2AUTO it worked!!! Thanks, bro!!

[@bostonchoir]

Your old alternator looks soaked with oil. Is that because of the engine oil leakage due to a bad "Low oil pressure sensor?" Kia had recall on the item (sensor).

[@AUDIO2AUTO]

Its power steering fluid from when it was moved out of the way.

[@charlesstewart7896]

How similar to 2016?

[@wolfcezair1181]

Man just drop down AC compressor it took you 12 minutes just to take the belt off😅

[@miraclesmusic]

thats my method for 2016 Kia Sorento as well but it extremely difficult to get the mounting bolt on top behind the AC tubes

[@Blackmumbo321]

Hey bud does the tire absolutely have to be removed

[@AUDIO2AUTO]

No but it will make the job quicker/easier in the long run.

[@user-xv7oi8do1d]

Be truthful about how Ling it takes not how long the video is. It's a lot easier on my 15 sorento from the bottom but that's still at best 1hr 10 mins. Can we try this again

[@AUDIO2AUTO]

If you thought it actually took 12 minutes in real time you probably should leave the job for someone else.

[@ryanejhinger5331]

I think the bottom looks easier as well

[@ryanejhinger5331]

​@AUDIO2AUTO in his defense..that's how it is written ..

[@Artur841984]

Kia Sorento 2? Kia Sorento 3?

[@joshuacotton8114]

12 mins!!!! More like half a day.

[@derickwells5980]

How do u raise the engine up to get that top screw out....do u need another jack🤦

[@AUDIO2AUTO]

Yes, just use another jack with some wood or rubber in between the top of the jack and bottom of pan. Dont have to lift it far.

[@cornell833]

I used a 14mill flex ratchet

[@gleorunyon3rd744]

12 minutes lol 😂

[@brandonmcbride4350]

Click bait 😂. 12 mins. Good job though

[@skeletor7908]

That's so dumb you have to raise the engine to get one bolt out. How hard would it have been to just put an access hole for it to go thru! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@AUDIO2AUTO]

Exactly or they could have made the bolt shorter also.

[@timcomer6057]

That’s the power of an engineer at work
