Old parts come out so smoothly in these videos. Makes it look too easy. Me: fighting with rust, spraying pb blaster on everything, torching old rusty nuts, breaking and rounding off bolts with my harbor freight toolbox. Hammering on everything. Him: pinches with his thumb and index finger and gently lifts it out.
This Definitely Helped With My Exchange Good Video 👌🏼💯 The only thing that sucks is that I got one from the junkyard and now I have to get a brand new one cause the one I just put tin isn't even running my truck good 🤦🏽♂️
1) Procedures will vary far more than just slightly from one vehicle to the next. 2( Remove the belt completely from the engine so that you can check the condition of the entire belt. A section of the belt may have missing ribs that you can't see unless the belt is off the engine and in your hands. If you're not comfortable removing the belt completely, maybe you shouldn't be replacing an alternator either. 3) Glazing is when either side, (but more noticeable on the outer side, the non-ribbed flat side), is shiny. There are better ways to test if your belt is worn out, but if you press your thumb nail into the flat side of the belt and the indentation left by it doesn't disappear quickly, the belt is worn out. 4) The banner across the top of the screen states: "tighten to manufacturer specifications", yet he uses a standard ratchet wrench with no torque indicating capabilities to let you him if he is tightening the nuts and bolts to the correct torque. As my name suggests, I'm an automotive technician, have been since 1977. With my years of experience, I can tighten most non essential bolts or nuts to a torque very close to manufacturer specs without using a torque wrench. Although when you're producing a video showing how to replace a part, and you show the above quoted statement in that video, then you should probably practice what you preach and tighten the hardware with a torque wrench. I have a few other comments, but this is far too long as it is. This post may self disappear at any time without warning.
What are torque specifications for 4 alternator mounting bolts? For some reasons I can't find that particular specification in Haynes or on-line. In one film they said 20Ft-lbs, but why it is not in the book? Maybe the name for that specification is different? And Serpentine belt should it be torqued to the specification or just approximately? The car is 2001 Saturn SL2.
I was changing my oil and my big burly neighbor stopped to help a damsel in need😊 I didn't want to, but I let him tighten the bolt. He stripped it! Cost me a trip to the dealer, 45 mile round trip. Just say "no" girls 👍! We can actually do things!
Yea your alternators are junk I bought one for my wife’s Acura TL and I put it on and yes it was bad took it back the guy tested it and said it’s bad and he got me a different one and he said there you go and I told him not yet test it and he did and showed good and put it on her car a week later it quit and I took her car the dealer for brakes and oil leak and a new alternator and I asked them is that a new alternator he said no we get them from auto Zone and I laughed so they put one on and 2 weeks later the pulley fell apart and had it picked up by a roll of being all wheel drive not good to tow and they put anew one on and a month later it starts beeping that battery is low on power. So I guess I will take it back Acura for my second auto zone alternator. ORileys did give me all my money back plus core charge. So let’s see how many auto zone alternators we can get again. Glad we are retired don’t have to have that car every day, but Acura is good about a loaner car and they always ask if I want one which is nice and Iam sure my bill is high enough it’s covered !
I can't help feeling a little disconcerted at the idea of people running around loose & unsupervised in the world who are unable to perform so simple a task as an alternator R&R without a helpful UA-cam video. Just sayin'...
I can’t imagine people running around in the world loose and unsupervised unable to do basic computer programming in C# without the help of UA-cam videos. You sound like a moron.

Honestly this video is underrated. Simple, step by step and very informative for people. I really appreciate the help!

I love how this was straight to the point and very descriptive. Thank you!

I worked on cars for 20 years and never needed torque specifications. The head gaskets is the only thing I torque.
The German torque spec - "goodentight"

Also put your battery on a trickle charger.
That's clearly a turbski.
Yea this was obviously a turbo installation tutorial he just didn't want our girls to know that's what we were doing
