This guy deserved credit for providing all steps so beginner can follow and perform. This is a "How to" video for beginner, not for an experience and pro.

Kinda making a lot of work for yourself! Just unbolt the alternator and pull it out no need to take off motor mounts wipers seats and the glove box!

i watched this video before replacing my alternator. I proceeded to ignore basically all of it and just released tension, unbolted the alternator, pulled it out and replaced it. Don't make extra work for yourself, this video has you taking apart everything just to replace possibly the most accessible alternator i've ever seen on a modern vehicle

I just did this yesterday on my 2006 Rav4. Not an easy job, it's tight. My tensioner is the one with a 19mm welded on nut you must get too. Let me tell you, this video is correct. Removing that motor mount is the best thing you can do to make the job easier. It takes less than 5 minutes to remove it. That 19mm nut is almost impossible to get too if you don't remove the motor mount, it is directly below it. When you pull that nut to take the tension off, slide the belt off the water pump pulley, it will come right off. Also the 12 mm lower alternator nut is kind of difficult, it's blind. I put a new belt on too. The Chilton manual helped with that.

Hey guys I just did this job and let me tell you that its IMPOSSIBLE to put the serpentine belt back on from the top. You have to go from underneath the vehicle to do this inorder to finish replacing the alternator or serpentine belt. Step 1: Reinstall new alternator Step 2: Using a 14mm combination wrench (with ratcheting function), put closed end of wrench on the center bolt of tensioner pully (not the top one closest to coolant reservoir) Step 3: Going in a clockwise direction, turn tensioner pully to give you slack all the way. keep going until your behind the bottom left wheel and place the wrench on top of the wheel so you no longer have to hold it. (Trust me you will see what im talking about) Step 4: Fit the serpentine belt around all wheels except the bottom right wheel. Step 5: Put a socket wrench on the BOTTOM LEFT WHEEL NUT Step 6: Turn bottom left wheel and feed the belt onto the bottom right wheel until it snaps itself on. (like putting on a bike chain) Here's a video with a picture of a diagram displaying the proper alignment for the belt. He also states putting the belt back on by turning the wheels. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3LEnIh4l9hlq7s

It seems overkilled unless this video also tries to show how to change the belt.

I've done this a few times and learned that the best way to install the belt is by looping it around the compressor pulley last. Saves so much time and aggravation. But I've never had to remove a motor mount 🤔

10:02 correct block side torque specs per Toyota service manual; top nut and bolt are 70 ft lbs, the bottom side middle nut is 38 ft lbs.

Nice video, but you failed to mention the lower, motor mount stud, anchored by a 14MM nut. I discovered this by accident with a mirror, when I removed the bolts & nuts that you demonstrated, but my motor mount refused to budge. When you removed & reinstalled the motor mount in its cavity, you can clearly see the stud. Perhaps, an edit of this video is warranted, to save DIYers, like myself, a lot of frustration

There is also two types of Alternators with one having a S-pin or a RLO-pin for the square plug. Best to check before buying and installing.
