This video saved me in a pinch. My family was 11 hours into a 15 hour drive, at sunrise the battery light came on. I pulled into an Advance Auto Parts and they had a new alternator in stock, and with their mish mash of tools and this video, I was able to get is back on the road for $150.
Mr. Eslick first time ever commenting or posting on UA-cam. But I just have to say thank you very much for your video. I literally had my Ipad next to me following your instructions on something I've never attempted before. This comes at a time when 2017 has not been kind to me and to be honest I stressed overnight on how I was going to get this fixed. After finding the part at a reasonable price, and with your video, it made a massive difference and I was able to fix it without having to take it to a costly mechanic. Again thank you!
Jason Smith glad I was able to help in relieve some stress. Thank you for watching and writing to me!
Bout to do it to my 98 in 22! It’s a great vid indeed
My car died out on the way to the beach with my family today and I figured it was the alternator. I called a couple people I know to get a tow and the price was $417 as it was outside of city limits. My father in law had the idea to fix the issue ourselves before spending that amount of money. Never done this kind of mechanic work other than oil changes and breaks so I looked it up and your video was a lifesaver! Just finished the job about 30 minutes ago actually! YOU are a lifesaver. Thank you for saving me $400+ brother, thank you very much!! God bless you
I can't thank you enough for sharing that trick to get that bushing out of the way. Midnight, in a parking lot, flashlight dying, and there's NO chance that alternator was going to swing up into that bracket without pressing that bushing out. I never would have thought of using a socket and bolt. THANK YOU!! You saved my ass.
PhabTribute sorry your working on your truck a midnight. Glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!!
I said same thing
What an idea !!
This was perfect. Step by step, exactly what I needed, even the bushing trick. Thanks.
Great video. The top about using the socket and bolt/screw to push the grommet in far enough to reinstall is gold. Whole job was less than a hour start to finish and saved a ton of cash. Excellent
Helped me out a lot, definitely gold.
Fantastic tip by forcing the bushing with a socket.
I have to agree. I've run up against this before and hammering on it worked but not always.
I just did that too and it worked!!! Thx!!
Hands down the BEST How to video for your alternator installation out of all the ones I watched on UA-cam for your 5FV-VZ engine. Thank you for you clear and concise & no b.s. directions.
Ive been working on cars myself now for probably 3 years. In that time ive rebuild and regeared a 10 bolt chevy rear, dropped and rebuilt my 84 700r4, and im in the process of ripping that back out and manual swapping my 86 monte carlo ss with a 94 lt t56 6 speed and building a 72 350 into a 383 stroker, as well as looked up countless how to's on bodywork. This is one of the best how to videos ive ever seen, and ive seen hundreds. Thank you man
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Just switched out my '98 4Runner's alternator-looks to be an original (or at least a Denso certified Toyota product) at 280,000. Easy fix, clear instruction, and saved me some major $$$. I appreciate your effort and clarity. The only minor bugaboo (which had nothing to do with your video) was that pesky bushing, but I eventually used a small clamp pressing a 10mm socket wrench to nudge it over.
Thanks for this! Simple and straightforward. Only thing I’d add is removing the battery entirely; 30 extra seconds of work and it’ll give you a lot more working space for gettting in there.
robert steinkamp glad the video helped. Thank you for watching and for the tip!
I wish all videos I find for assistance working on my car were this good. I'm 53 been messing with cars forever. This is a perfect tutorial. I hope you have more sir , Thanks
That bolt and socket trick was worth watching the whole lesson.Thanks.
Joe Chapman glad you like it. Thank you for watching!
Mr Genius, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, God bless you and your family!
Excellent job Brian! This is one of the best automotive how to videos I've seen on youtube.
Thank you so much for your help with this video. I had trouble getting my alternator into my 2002 Tacoma, the hint about that bushing was a lifesaver.
Great video !! In just a few minutes you were able to show us exactly what we need to know to do a good job replacing the alternator. Thanks !!!
Incredibly helpful, didnt have a bolt and nut so I used a C clamp and socket, worked out well.
Thank you for this video!
Greta video!
Thank you for making it short, concise, and easy to follow.
perfect video, its 5 degrees in wi right now but this video is to the point, sizes, tips and tricks, and complete. thanks you . should help my the swap go smoothly
I have a 2002 Toyota 4Runner. My alternator blew while I was driving. When the battery died , I was stranded in a Kroger parking lot. I got a man to hook his car up to mine with battery cables and got enough of a charge to get home.
I watched this video the night before I started the replacement.
Everything was so easy.
I had to use the bolt and socket trick also.
I got everything reinstalled, charged my battery with a neighbor’s battery charger, and I am back to riding.
Thank goodness for this video.
It saved me money and hours of frustration.
🙏🏻
Jesse James sorry your 4RUNNER was giving you Trouble. Glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!!
Thanks much! I never would have thought I could change out an alternator but your video was perfect! The tip about how to get the bushing out of the way saved the day!
Thanks for this video. Very clear and concise and everything one needs to know about the alternator replacement. You made my repair easy yesterday.
Best instructional video for this on the Tube
Thank you!
This video make me feel like a great mechanic I change my own alternator thanks
Replaced the alternator in my 95 t100 today. Your video told me everything I needed to know. Thanks for the video!
My 02 left me stranded got home and changed it easy thanks.
Thank you for the clear and straightforward instructions, I haven't done much wrenching before and had no trouble other than that adjustment bolt! Was happy to not have to take the skid plates off like so many other videos suggested. Was able to wake up early and get it changed quick enough to get to work on time! Thanks!
Awesome glad the video was helpful and you got to work on time. Thank you for watching!
Thanks so much for this video! We saved a lot of money and learned we are semi pro mechanics at the end of the project!
Awesome videos , the essentials and easy steps ,no more 30 minute videos . You rock
My 4runner died on me in the middle of the freeway on while on a road trip with my wife, on a Saturday night, all shops were closed on Sunday, this video safe our trip and so much $$$. The trick with the socket worked perfectly, thank you so much
Thank you Brother.
I'm going to be changing the Alternator on my truck, glad you showed how easy it can be.
Excellent, so was glad to see I don't need to worry about the other belts and don't even need to remove the fan! Great! Thank you so much, Great Job!
You are the man! Installed new alternator in no time at all. By far the best video for changing the alternator on my 1998 4Runner.
Thank you. Glad you got your 4Runner going. Thank you for watching!
After looking for online help and reviewing several terrible videos, I ran into one this and it was exactly what I needed to make the replacement with full confidence that I had the right steps and tools. One thing I did read or hear elsewhere was that the mounting bolts should be tightened to 16 lbs. with a torque wrench.
Paul Dunn glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching!
Great video. Really helped me replace my wifes alternator. The socket and bolt trick was a life savor. The step by step directions were spot on. Thanks a lot!
Glad the video was helpful and you got your wife’s truck back on the road. Thank you for watching!
Amazing video
Ill be changing my BELT tomorrow. It falling apart
So ill try rhat first. If not ill replace the Alternator
Now i can do Both myself.
Thanks buddy. Just saved me about 300 bucks
Thank you so much for posting the video.. After 180,000 miles my alternator on my 2001 4runner gave out.. Having never changed out an alternator it took me about an hour and a half (of course with a few breaks in between) your video was extremely helpful.. Thank You!!!!
Will Hunter glad to help thank you for writing and watching!
Thank you, this is the best! I know nearly nothing about auto mechanics, and I was able to do this entire job following along with this video. That tip about the bushing was key.
My only tip to others doing this job is just take your battery completely out, it gives more room for your arms and vision.
Thank you so much!!! I had this in my phone while I replaced the alternator in my 00 Taco. That bushing was frustration but I was able to get it with the socket trick. I was done with a fresh alternator in under 45 minutes. Including the trip to autozone!!! Thanks again for a perfectly informative video. Not only does my truck run, but I’m immensely satisfied with myself
I’m glad the video and tips helped out. Thank you for sharing with me and watching!
Thanks a ton for this video/tutorial, you show absolutely everything which is going to make this a very easy job for me. 11/10 on explanation and visual tips, an awesome teacher. Ill be checking your videos anytime I have to work on my truck. Thanks again
MrPooseProductions glad the video helped. Thank you for writing and watching!
WOW, this video was perfect! I replaced my alternator within an hour (and I have never done any car work heavier than an oil change) and this video was essential! Especially the part about driving back the spacer holding the alternator in place. This started at 2:50 in this video and took a 3hr nightmare situation and reduced it to a 5minute fix with a cheap nut and bolt. Great work Brian!
Glad The video and tips were able to help. Thank you for watching!
Extremely well done video. Thank you so much.
Outstanding illustration. First time replacing one and it went just like he said
Got it changed in my 97 4Run. Thank you for the great vid!
Adventurism glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this informative procedure.
Aloha,
The alternator on my 2001 Toyota Tacoma (280k miles) finally gave out and your video was SPOT ON for the replacement. I opted to lube up the electrical connection plug for a day and I was rewarded with it coming off with just a little wiggling. I also opted to take the battery completely out get more light and more room in the engine compartment. Additionally I did have to press that upper bolt spacer out of the way but other than that it was piece of cake. Thanks for the excellent tutorial!
Hawaii Jetboat Adventures glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much Brian! Great bushing trick on there. That’s the best video I’ve seen and will help me alot!
Glad you like the video. Thank you for watching!
Finally I found a good video to replace the alternator on my Toyota four runner thank you.
Great video, I'm not mechanically inclined at all and replaced mine in 30 minutes thanks to this video
Thanks for the video, very straightforward and effective. Swapping out my alternator right now.
Thank you for watching!
Excellent job Brian. I'm sure you saved me a lot of time and money. I really appreciate it.
Glad the videos helping you save time and money. Thank you for watching!
Such a solid video. Super informative and professionally explained. Thank you.
Thank you!
Very helpful video. I installed a remanned Denso last night. Your bolt trick on the upper bushing was a life saver. I had trouble disconnecting the rear clip, so took out the other bolts first, then was able to get a better view and more leverage to remove the plug. Subscribed to see your other work. Thanks again.
TommyboySTL Glad The video help. Thank you for the tip and for subscribing!
I just replaced the alternator in my 2001 4Runner thanks to this amazing video! It was easy to follow, and explained everything. I have over 320k miles on my 4Runner, and I hope for 300k more (unrealistic, perhaps)! Thanks again!
thebudgetarmory1 glad the video helped. You never know it may just make it 300k more 👍 thank you for watching!
Perfect explanation. Thank you sir.
Battery light just came on my 4runner. Thanksgiving is today, and i have to be at work for mandatory overtime on friday. This video gives me confidence i’ll have the truck ready by friday
Thank you sir. Just changed my alternator an hour ago and this video made it pretty easy👌🏼
Paul Nevarez glad the video helped. Thank you for writing and watching!
Thank You very much Brian,
Your video helped me a LOT!
Very clear and very well presented.
Jeffrey Goodson glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video . Got mine done in 20 minutes .👍👌✌️
This video is incredible!!!
Bolt and socket trick was clutch. I had to torque it a lot to get it to budge but it really saved the day. Thanks a lot for that tip!
Thank you
For that bushing lesson
Work like a charm thank you so much, brother. God bless you.
Thank you Brian! Helping me be a competent home auto repairman.
Ranoss_ glad to help. Thank you for watching!
Really helped me out. Thanks man!
Thanks for the video! Came in helpful
Helpful video! Good job! Thank you!
Aloha from Hawaii. Mahalo for the tutorial.
Thanks... I’ll be using this video as I replace mine. Thanks you for posting it!
That was great! Not a mechanic, but helped me through it like I was. Dont know what I would've done without the tip about how to push the bushing through!
This vid helped me out a lot! I couldn’t find a damn bolt that would work with a socket I had tho lol. If anyone else runs into that problem just file the alternator a little bit 😅 it works great 👌🏼
Wow the bushing trick saved my sanity. Thanks a ton!
Straight to the point..!! I love it Bro✌🏻Thanks🙏🏻
Thank you for watching!
Excellent video!
1.5 Hr later all Done! Thank you for the video and useful tips. God bless!!!
Luis Avila glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
Thank you thank you thank you for this video. I disnt know what I was doing (never been taught or have done this)and with this video I got it out in decent time.
Thank you Sir! Very goid job now I'm going to change mine.
Thanks for the video. I had the same problem with the bushing. I used a socket and a c-clamp instead of a bolt.
Got a new subscriber here! My 4Runner alternator finally died at 310k miles. If I saw this video I would have saved 165 in labor. My friend that is a Toyota specialist told me my mechanic charged me BMW independent shop labor since he is a BMW shop. I only trust this guy currently due to bad/incompetent/shady mechanics I dealt with before.
Same as everyone else, thank you the video. It was concise and well done. 👌🏼
HumanJoseph thank you!
Just for those that aren't really thinking that the socket trick to move that bushing isn't important. It is. I ended up beating it into place because I didn't have the bolt or nut at my house. It really is a pain to get that thing back in because of that stupid bushing. So listen to this guy and do what he says and it will make your life a lot easier. Thank you for the video
Thank you. Was a real help
Great job and just the confidence booster I needed.
Chuck Haskins glad to help. Thank you for writing and watching!!
Nailed it! Thanks bro.
Thanks from Russia, very helpful video.
That socket, bolt and nut trick sure got me out of a jam today when I encountered it. Thanks for the video!
Glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching!
Thanks...had to use your idea using the socket trick to drive bushing out. Thanks again.
Great video to clarify, the tab to press to release the connector is the part facing the driver's side fender, away from the engine
Thank you!!! Your socket press trick worked perfect
Glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching!
Thank you. Went to auto zone picked up an alternator for $190 for 2000 toyota tacoma prerunner. Swopped it out in about an hour, took the core back to auto zone and got $43 back. Thanks so much.
That’s awesome sounds like you saved a bunch of money. Glad to video could help thank you for watching!
