Thanks for sharing your experience. Just replaced mine ... best way is up ... just losen steering pump ... hoses are long enough to pry it out of the way. Once steering pump is pushed away , it becomes easy to take out and oil-or-replace the tensioner. Once you take out the MacPherson arm , you can access and take out the bracket ... and zipcut and replace that very stupid bolt.
The space is quite small because suzuki has 1.5 and 1.8 liter engine that most aerio equipped with. I think they first designed the car with those two engine in mind and then later on add the bigger engine option.
Excellent repair work and I, too love the piano background. Have you ever played Clare de Lume , or anything by Bo Harwood? Keep the videos coming. I love the variety.
quick question. How do I remove the 13mm bolts from the altenator if they're rusted or welded?? idk I CAN NOT get these loose. I even tried my drill almost took my hand off my arm. I thought maybe they are rusted but the spray didn't do anything. Can i iuse a drill bit and just tear them out of there?
Just done mine the easiest way of removing the alternator is to undo the exhaust that way you end up with more room . Its a lot quicker than messing about with engine mounts.
@magicmikethemechines ok. Now is this real? I remember car wizard saying you all don't give away anything unless you talk about it on your UA-cam channel
I have only changed one alternater once on all the motor vehicles l have ever owned the alternator was making a hell of a racket l thought tgere was something wrong with the engine the alternator was still charging so l just changed the alternator and noise went away
Everything looks very tight, not much room, thank you for your great content.
Like the piano music, nice. Also the vibe in the Wizards shop with some of the lights off is also cool 😎.

Now I have to replace the solenoïd that seized while the car was waiting for the replacement of the seized alternator.
Well , my time is cheaper
Awesome that you can work on your own cars after hours!
It’s not just Omega Auto Clinic. It’s a UA-cam creator space. :)
@@nexusyang4832 That is so true and it's great that David allows them to do these things in his shop with his tools.
Great video Mike, I’ll be tuning in for your future vids. 👍
Love the piano music accompanying the video
Magic Mike straight forward tech. On a mission to fix his hoopty.

I just watched Hoovie on Barret Jackson. That will be you one day.
What did it sell for ?
Why does it have to be so buried in there? That's a nightmare 😭
Is old alternator fixable?
Yes alternators can be repaired but not cost/efficient relative to time required in North America, most of the time.
Nice! Wizard would charge you $1,100 for that. 😂
