    Dave, I would like to thank you for this video. It helped me tremendously I appreciate that. I have a 2012 RDX . I opted for the rebuilt Denso alternator because no one in my area was able to rebuild the original one . They were at least a month out to do. Thanks again for your video on this.

    Dave , On the pulley tensioner , Are you using the bolt that holds the tensioner to move it down ? did you have to use a bar on the end of the wrench to pry it down ?At 26:12 where you stopped the video did you take the alternator back out and put the bolt in the alternator hole and then put the alternator back in the car and start the video again leaving out the part where you took it back out of the car to put the bolt in ?

      No I just moved it over some to get the bolt in. The belt tensioner was done with a wrench on the pulley bolt. No pry bar just my hand

    What was the size of the tools that you use to complete this job I have a 08 Rdx same as this one and I’m changing mine out tomorrow and I just need to know what to get

      I talk about the tools several times in the video I believe. Common tool set can get it done. Hope all goes well for you on your repair.

    What kind of symptoms did you have when the alternator went out? My cars battery has been dying when left parked for 2 days. Not sure if I should just replace alternator. AutoZone tells me the battery is still okay.

      Test for voltage with it running at the battery posts. Should be over 13v running

    Are the alternators the same from a crv and rdx ? The one on my crv went out and my friend has a rdx one he’s trying to give me but idk if there compatible

      I'm not 100 % you should be able to cross reference the part number at a parts store

    Why can't people that post these videos just stick to the task at hand???? I want to know how to change an alternator in an RDX, not hurricanes in Savannah. The ADD of some of these channels is fkn infuriating

      If I got paid I will make you a video just like you want. But since you don't pay me anything to get my knowledge I will talk about whatever I want.
