A good video with very helpful details for DIYers. You should disconnect the negative terminal as it is not safe to disconnect the positive terminal while keeping negative terminal connected - There are many UA-cam videos explaining why.
I added a new belt when I did mine and I didn’t even need to tighten the belt tensioner as much as you did. Just tightening the alternator bolts is enough to tighten the belt
I don't think it matters. It might be safer removing the negative. Sometimes in removing the positive you wrench or rachet can touch the frame causing it to arc. I am not a professional mechanic, however.

The most clear and concise video i have seen yet this saved me alot of headache thank you very much !!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My 2009 has that damn squealing on start up, good to know this fix isn’y too hard!
Great video it sure helped appreciate it🥇👍
Mine squeaks like a squeaky bed when cold. Hard to tell whether it is belt or the alternator itself.
I just replaced mine and now it squeak's just like yours only when starting. You think maybe the belt is too tight or loose?
Scott, super helpful!! This was exactly what I needed this morning!!! Thank you!!
Scott's! good daay. what a unreal done,;))
We’re you get the alternator?
Where do u think? In the candy Store?
Good morning Scott! Any reason why you removed the positive instead of the negative terminal? Or does it really not matter? Thank you Sir in advance.

If this happens you needs to spray the belt conditioner at the belt or just replace the new belt.
Thank you I did it myself
Thx

The drive cycle ,anyway, you gonna ruin the ECM of the car.Because you unplug the battery terminal.
