Replacing Alternator on Nissan Maxima 2010 to 2015 FULL GUIDE

Great job on the video. My lights came on and I knew it was the alternator, but I waited 2 months to address it and the alternator finally died. Good thing it happened at home and didn't leave me stranded somewhere.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Oh ok yeah good thing u we’re home

[@Mzzipperme]

Thank you. I watched because my mechanic who I think is the best (30 yrs and counting) said this was a monster job. I called him to ask about the drive belt and he said yes we should replace while everything is apart.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yup replace the belt along with it. Yup monster job!!! Coolant will be drained out. It would be good time to get free coolant flush since it’s already drained out. By the way if u have any heat issues after this. It could be related to drain and fill make sure he bleeds the systym

[@thelazyhandyman]

Dude you killed it. Wife's Maxima just stopped charging itself. I'm dreading this job. Worst frikkin engineering! 😐

[@emmcee476]

I did this job (2016 Altima) for the first time yesterday. I decided to go thru the bottom. Removed top nut on the front engine mount, removed belt, removed tensioner, lowered subframe, loosened miscellaneous harness clips, unclipped and moved oil cooler lines out of the way, disconnected compressor connectors, removed compressor fasteners (4), lowered compressor. Then removed bottom alternator nut and long bolt Alternator top bolt, and electrical connections accessed from the top. Disconnect upper radiator hose and move out of the way to make room. After all this is done, the alternator came out with little effort thru the bottom while moving the AC compressor out of the way

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yeah I find connectors to be easy

[@singhj67]

Great video. Just watch out for the AC compressor sensor cable when removing the alternator. It can come down and smash the cable. Also, while you are down there, check the Oil coolant lines that runs under the AC compressor line, if it's rusty replace it. It will leak one day. Do it while you down there. Might as well replace the belt too.

Yup

But I’ve never been so INCLINED as to push the whole maxima off a bridge😂😂 they make that shit to require a dealership/mechanic for the average person.

[@ascitiesburn672]

long story, but I had my alternator on the 09 Max replaced around thanksgiving. I moved 3+ hours away from the shop that did it and around January, it started acting up again (come to find out.) Engine surge only in gear, brake+battery lights flashing on and off when the engine surges, loud rattle at idle etc. Come to find out, after we replace some parts at the dealership I work at, it ends up being the alternator. Yesterday, we found out that the " lower generator bolt" backed out of place and is just banging around in the hole. With some force, we hammered the threads through enough to grab them with a nut and pull the tab over the end of the alternator. however, the bolt is so long that it is now in the way of the lower idler pulley and it is keeping it from spinning. We thought that was weird, backed the bolt out enough to where there was still no play in the alternator and now the pulley can spin freely. Looking at shit last night, I am realizing that there is supposed to be that " generator bracket" that the hook end of the bolt attaches to. It's gone. I don't know how, but it's gone. We put some blue threadlock on the bolt and have it backed out enough for the pulley to spin freely, but I don't know how that bracket fell off unless the shop I took it to just didn't tighten everything down all the way. I'm gonna need that bracket eventually, huh? one of the guys helping me says I should be fine, the other says BULLLLLSHIT. I just need it to last for the time being until I can get in that bracket and try to replace everything myself with the help of the guys in the shop. Did the alternator in this video even have a bracket? I didn't see one. thank you!

[@RBTheMechanic]

.y mechanics have done this about three times to my 2010 nissan maxima. I have paid the over 5 years any where from 200 to 500 in labor. These days it's much higher for labor. Now the recent culprit of the two last failures recently has been spured on by a oil leak over two years and over 200,000 miles on the vehicle. That's a lot of bolts and nuts and components to remove an Alternator. This is undoubtedly poor e gineering on Nisans part. The alternator is horizontal rather than vertical to other old vehicles and makes the alternator more available to be burned out by spilled leaking from possible gasket leaks after 190000 miles. Otherwise the engine runs great and does not smoke. When the oil sprays or leaks it drops on the alternator which is positioned to have a failure I wonder how much they would charge for a new engine or even a gasket repair, which the dealer may charge double. I don't think they will make this design of any nissan maxima anymore. Poor engineering on Nissans part on this six cylinder vehicle. Any suggestions on your part for this design of this alternator in this type of vehicle???. Your video is excellent and I know why they charge so much for replacement of the alternator, I had no idea it was that complicated. THANKS.
