Yeah man, just replaced the alternator, same year, make, model. This is the only way to do this job. No other way possible. Thank you for your time and uploading this video. You've got a new subscriber.

Super helpful video for someone who is unfamiliar with this setup. One thing to add...the alternator and bracket are aluminum, so mine was seized solid. It needed a spray of penetrating oil and a couple of love taps to break that metal loose. After that, wiggling worked just fine.

Thanks for the video it saved me alot of headache.

Thank you for this video..now I know where it is...because am going thru the problem now...where I need to buy an altertor

Is there a harder vehicle to work on

I'll be. Changing min tmrw and never worked on cars befor! Wish me luck Btw do you change the belts at the same time?

This was my customers car. He just wanted the Alternator changed, but yes it is a good time to change the belt as well, since it has to be removed anyway.

Thank you for the video it's extremely helpful. I'm having trouble taking off the electrical connector, do you have to pinch both ends to take it off or what man lol

Just press in on the harness and while holding it in press the clip and pull the whole thing out, it's the same as every other wire harness. This is probably the easiest part of the job lol.

Thanks, this will help. I looked at it and I was tempted to call a mechanic cause it looks like a b**** to get to it.

Thanks man

I have completely removed the bottom bolt and applied a ton of PB Blaster....I cannot get it free. Any suggestions?

I took the 17mm top bolt out and tried lift the engine but the whole car Starts to lift. Am I missing something. Is there another mount that needs to be removed

I just removed the one mount. Are you sure you have the jack in the right place? If you have it on the subframe then it's gonna shift the whole car.

So if I jack the motor up where abouts do I jack it up safely? Ty

Just put a 2x4 block of wood about 6-8 inches long underneath the oil pan.

Was your alternator stuck whenever to took the bottom bolt off mine does not want to come off it is stuck in the groove.

No mine wasn't stuck. Spray PB blaster on it. If you have to jack up the engine a little higher with a block of wood, that also makes it easier to get to.

So I havnt jacked my motor yet to pull it out because after I loosened the top bolt off the alternator fell right off the mount!! Do I need to replace the whole mount assembly now pulleys and all? You said the bottom bolt just sits in a groove?

Has anyone ever had problems lining the bottom bolt back up? Same part, no problems with removal, but can't get the bolt to align. We HAVE been doing this with the car not on jack stands, but are finding some later today.

Jack stands are needed so you can put the jack and a block of wood under the engine to lift it up and down, so you'll be able to slide the bolt back in

Same way you got it out. If you have the motor mount out and the engine on a jack, then you can jack the engine up and down to give you enough room.

Is there a reason why you didn't show us how you got it out? I'm trying having a rough time
