[@AndrewSmith-kd9wr]

Just love having jump cut videos when trying to figure something out. Thanks

[@revodrvr]

Dude he showed how to start every step. Nobody would watch it if it was 3 hours long.

[@Chico-ux1wf]

Thanks for the help, it was easier than I thought

[@bretparker8533]

First time ever replacing alternator, awesome vid, no extra bs. Helped tremendously

[@YouCanFixIt]

Cool glad it helped we all need to save a few bucks thanks for the comment

[@adriandixon7150]

[@JoseGarcia-yp8dx]

Told my wife I could do it. Did it.

[@YouCanFixIt]

Glad you where able to save some money by doing it yourself. Now you can take her out for a nice dinner memory.

[@nlbrant]

[@YouCanFixIt]

Glad all worked out no more clunky

[@Mrcrazyb]

Thanks for this. It looks like I'm going to have to be doing this real soon as ours is on it's last leg. Not wanting to shell out 100s of dollars to replace one. I'm not mechanically inclined really; however, by watching this, I have somewhat of an idea on what I have to do.

[@YouCanFixIt]

Positive attitude positive outcome...

[@user-cn3zl7pk4f]

This is a great video but if you don’t know what your doing you need to know your going to need 16 mm combination wrench and 15 mm combination wrench. As well as other sockets and bolts .

[@YouCanFixIt]

Nope don't need a wrench I do 8 to 10 a week

[@ctumobileautorepair4494]

Awesome Job thanks for sharing

[@juanvelazquez4390]

loved the music very suspenseful

[@YouCanFixIt]

Thank you hope the video helped as well

[@gordhenschel1419]

You can download it and play it in a loop as long as you want.

[@Lamone-nw9tw]

Says it’s easy but for people who can’t lift their car over their heads it’s a little hadd

[@YouCanFixIt]

Actually this is not that bad using jack stands on stable ground. I do side work in my home shop with no lift all the time. Life is either do it yourself or pay to have it done. I don't know your skill level or motivation level. There are things like exaust work I have done cause I'm to lazy to do it bit I don't criticize someone for providing some information to make an informed decision as to if your that person who can get it done or that one that needs someone else to do it for em.

[@Ciana_Baby]

I just slid under mine and did it

[@Lamone-nw9tw]

For some reason my heels is up under the engine where I can’t get to it

[@YouCanFixIt]

Can't tell ya pretty simple job remove the tire and fender well....it's right there have done several in my home shop with no lift. As for having a lift 1000s of home based automobile enthusiasts do it without one I have built several ground up cars in a shop with no lift.

[@nickashworth4186]

So taking the ac compressor out should you remove the hose and see ac coolant coming out? Or how do I prevent that I’m stuck here lol

[@YouCanFixIt]

No you don't remove the hose just allow it to relax . Removing the hose requires you to evacuate and recover the refrigerant first. If you have removed the hose you are going to need to have that procedure done to insure the system is properly filled and there are no leaks from damaged oring.

[@revodrvr]

Is it possible to leave the ac compressor l8ne hooked up and just move it out of the way or no

[@YouCanFixIt]

I have never tried...I do believe it will not leave enough room as it is a tight squeeze even with it gone.

[@revodrvr]

@YouCanFixIt thanks man.

[@2A.MDREAMING]

what is the size wrench you use to loosen the pullie?

[@YouCanFixIt]

I wanna say the tensioner is 14mm it's been a hot minute since I've done one. We don't service many of them. If your referring to the alternator pully itself I don't change it comes with new alternator. A basic set with a 45 degree head 10-19 will cover 90% of what you need I prefer a longer box end wrench when I can more leverage less fighting.

[@chilleei8580]

16mm

[@truth1558]

Perfection

[@YouCanFixIt]

Thank you

[@poorboysadventures4636]

The second song perfectly represents the circus in my head when I do this.

[@natalie94295]

what type of alternator did you use

[@YouCanFixIt]

Whatever brand the shop used. We source from everywhere dealers worldpack napa. Has been a long time ago to remember

[@durrrrty_dave]

So how’s you get the alternator out?

[@durrrrty_dave]

You left that part out

[@YouCanFixIt]

You should be able to wiggle it around the open area. The open area gives plenty of room to remove some rotation may be involved

[@durrrrty_dave]

@@YouCanFixIt I got it. Forgive me. This thing was pissing me off.

[@YouCanFixIt]

@@durrrrty_dave That it will. Hope it all works smooth.

[@gordhenschel1419]

Useful information, but why the terrible music? Yes, I can turn down the sound. I did.

[@YouCanFixIt]

I accept tips so I can purchase better haha

[@savethehair4515]
