This comment earned him one more
Good video. I found that removing the fan made it so much easier. It takes an extra five minutes to remove three bolts and undo two clips. You gain way more access to everything!
How would you do that
He’s talking about the shroud I believe, it’s 3 bolts on top and 2 clips on the lower sides IIRC
Some hints for people who will attempt this. I had to move the alternator up and down to loosen but it was not enough to remove it with my hands. I had to use a crow bar to get the alternator out of the place where the bottom bolt went through. Do it carefully and don't touch the pully nearby. In regards to pulling it out all together, i almost gave up because it was not coming straight out. I did have to turn it and angle it out. I wish he would have shown him doing the work but i am grateful for the shortcut.
Same here. I turned it up pulley facing me upwards and just kept wiggling it out.
Exact same issue I'm having its just pivoting back and forth on the bottom bolt but it's removed
I had to replace my alternator today and I watched this video and it made it extremely easy! I never thought I’d be able to change my own alternator. To whoever changed the alternator in this video! Thank you! 🙏 you gained another subscriber!
I’m glad I was able to help! Thx for showing the love and subscribing
The day has come and I have to replace my alternator and that’s why I’m here today on this video 2 years later haha.
Make sure to unplug the battery before you get to pulling plugs!!! I made this mistake and blew a main fuse 😢
I changed my alternator because I thought that was the issue, than the car kept giving out on me, so I was like it had to be the battery, so I changed that. But my battery light is still popping up here and there while driving. Is this what happened to you ?
Thanks guys! Changing the alternator on my wife's car was a breeze, thanks to your well explained video. Now I need to change spark plugs and coils.
Glad we where able help! 😃
So thankfully this video exists, I did the job today on my sons 2003 Accord. A few tips. One other person posting here had the same issue I did. It would hang up on something after removing the upper and lower bolts. Just wiggling it does not help. You need to rotate it upward as you lift up on the alternator. The bottom bolt hole on the alternator is nested between two guide holes with the back one being the threaded one. Second, unless you remove the upper bracket that the upper bolt and wire harness is bolted to, the alternator is never going to come out. Extremely tight. Take a picture of it before you remove the bracket so you can see how to put it back.Third, when replacing the alternator, I would replace the back cable first as trying to hold the lock washer and nut with one hand in the limited space is very difficult once the alternator is back in place. It took me two hours to do the job. I couldn't have done it without this video.
Thanks for the input! And I’m glad we where able to help you. If you can, help us back by subscribing
most helpful video for this repair I've seen. Couldn't find many answers for a 2005 v6 but i watched this and figured it right out
thank you I was able to replace it on my own, saved me $700, shop quoted me $850. I just bought alternator on amazon 150.
Thanks brother. Loves from . India. 🇮🇳 ( Mysore ) ❤❤❤
This video helped me out a lot. The bottom bolt was hard to get back in place but got it back together with some help from a friend moving the alternator around until the hole lined up enough to get the bolt started. thanks
I don't have a 3.0 L Honda Accord, but a 2.4 L, was curious in the process in another Honda alternators R/R. Outstanding Tutorial, A + Rating.
Gonna do this job tomorrow. Now I feel like I can without messing it up. Thanks and love from Long Beach!
Steven Matthews T.F.I. Good luck, any questions just let us know and also check our Honda playlist for other fixes
Garage Boys thanks! Will do for sure. I didn't actually get to the job today, Partially because of the weather, but it's definitely going to happen tomorrow. I'll leave a follow-up message to let you know how it goes.
@@StevenMatthewsTFI did you get the job.?

I want to say Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm changing my alternator tommarrow and I'll have your podcasts going. I'll let you know how it comes out. I knew it was going to be easy and I have your podcasts and knowledge all memorized. God bless
Thanks. Straight forward explanation and good tips! I changed my alternator today. A lot of choices in Alt - Honda: $1K+ for new & $800 for Reman - O'Reily: $234 Ultima Reman. Went with Napa Auto Parts: OEM Denso Reman for @$231-10%AAA discount. Really appreciate the Video as it made the job a lot easier.

As a single mother I ty for the video and saving me probably a few hundred dollars by not having to take my vehicle to a shop. I'm not above doing projects myself. I definitely found this video helpful. Thanks again.
Glad I was able to help!
Gracias mi bro
Hi, if either the top or bottom screw was seized, how difficult of a repair is that? I feel my current mechanic is giving me the run around, my car has been there for a week. Great video, I think I'll be doing my alternator myself from now on.
As you can see in the video we have basic tools and it didn’t take us much time, if your screw was seized at a shop it would complicate the job but your mechanic should be able to fix that quick. Whole job shouldn’t take him more than a day
Nice job with the video. I'm going to do the same removal and installation on my V6. Do you know what the torque specs are for the top and bottom bolts? Thanks and keep up the good work.
Great Video!!! You just saved me Time and $$$
So helpful quick and simple
Cool it help a lot. Love does gloves!
Great video thanks! 👍🏼

Thanks for the walk-through man
Glad I could help 😉
Thank you very much. That was very helpful
So much easier than the one that says to take the fan shroud off

Sadly the car I tried to work on was a lot worse condition the Serpentine belt was bad and tensioner was seized when I tried to remove the tensioner I broke bolts so it still sits
Scott Kirwan sorry to hear that :-(
Excellent. Thanks so much
Thank you so much man very easy and very helpful

So the main bolt on the side by the green connector I had to break the Luther shell(black) to get to the other side and I had to use 2 wrenches in opposite direction and the last bolt came out! You didn’t show that in the video but I found a way
Those orange gloves should be your trademark great video
Awesome, thank you man, helps a lot
Helpful video thank you.
I noticed you cut the video where you actually got the old one out which is the main problem. If your turn then old alternator a certain way or actually took other stuff off should have been helpful
I’m having issues as well! Is there a trick?
you said there was an issue with the bottom bolt, that it was an issue with the alternator....what was the issue?
bcuz I'm having a hell of a time with it getting to properly seat or line up
I just replaced that part,the speedometer started working alright as well as the ac but the lights are still on(break and ABS)what should I do next?
I have a 2003 Accord v6. I just did this job tonight. I had to remove the fan. No 2 ways about it. The alternator was just slightly different than the one shown in this video (connections in slightly different orientation). So either there is a slight difference in the depth of the alternator between the years, or perhaps the one you were pulling was an aftermarket vs me pulling the OEM. I don't know. Would have been nice if I could have pulled it the way you said, but no dice. Now, why did you edit out the portion where you actually removed it? Considering the title of the video, that's just strange. Is it because you had to get brutal with it?
I have a video on my “Honda Repairs” Playlist showing how to remove the alternator on a 98-2002 Accord and on that removal you have to take off the fan, no way around that, maybe that’s the one you have? 2) I tried to make the video as short and straight to the point as possible. I didn’t think it was necessary to show how I actually pull out the alternator but it does require some back and fort wiggling. If you read through the comment you will see different responses from different people that did the job. Hope I helped, I do try hard :-)
@@GarageBoys I did appreciate the video though. It was helpful. Thank you.
I know I;m responding to an old post but I have the same car. I know what you mean, i was going to give up myself but it came out by moving the alt all the way to the left and you have to turn and angle it out. It didn't come straight out.
Thank you so much
Thank you so much dude
No problem, glad I could help
Good shit man.
I had to remove the power steering hose on top end for more room.
Great video, thank you!

My bottom bolt will not go through the hole in the new alternator. What did you do to fix?
the top, does the wire bracket bolt to the frame, then the alternator bolt to the bracket
Cool video ... but i was wondering whats all the tools you used to remove it & install new one?
12/14mm sockets with probably a 3/8" ratchet wrench for added strength
Are there different alternators for the 2.4 and 3.0l engines?
used a ratchet and I call out the socket sizes as the video goes
I wish he showed the video of him taking out the alternator as I can't get mine out of that area.
The Very First Step of this job should've been disconnecting the negative battery cable‼️🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤣😂
How does that top bracket mount to the alternator. I'm working on a 2007 3.0 and someone forgot to put that bracket and top bolt back
A belt tensioner tool at Harbor Freight for 18 bucks will make things easier.
You should do one to remove & replace the AC compressor.
Yes we have it on our list we will get to it eventually. Please help us out by subscribing to our channel and you can check our other Honda repairs in our Honda Playlist
anyone know if this is the same process for a hybrid v6?
Why did you cut the video when you removed it 😬 but overall good video. Thanks
you should've actually showed the install and removal process.... also way easier to just pull the fan off it's only 2 10mm bolts and way more room
I’m having trouble putting the new alternator in. The bottom bracket is just so tight and the alternator won’t fit in. It’s definitely the correct part. Any suggestions?
Same
There is a bushing that needs to pushed back in towards the wheel. Take a 1/2 socket, thread the long bolt through the socket, and pry the bushing towards the wheel with a small pry bar or flat screwdriver.
the daddy I never had
💪🏻
You definitely skipped the part where you took out the bolt that’s on the outer side, now I got the alternator off but the bolt isn’t on stable grounds to take off 😅
My honda accord is now dead and won't start, I just replaced the starter a few weeks ago. Last time I checked the red battery light was on the dashboard while I was driving. So I'm assuming its the alternator.
It can be the alternator or the battery
@@GarageBoys was the alternator changed it today on my own thanks
An electric 90 degree socket wrench can cut your time in half.
I want to get a 07 honda crv but seeing how the alternator is set up makes me not want to.m...
I went through all the steps and the belt is way to tight where is the adjustment? The alternator cant get any closer to the block
No adjustment on the alternator, the belt tensioner takes care of the tension on the belt. Maybe you didn’t run the belt properly? Also make sure new alternator has the same pulley? But I don’t think the pulley would be different
Why did you skip the part where you put the physical alternator in?
Took a lot of time and a lot of wiggle back and forward. I wanted to make the video as short as possible
suddenly im an alternator
Not being a dick. Theres a tool called a tensioner as well. Most auto shops will loan them to you. Nice video btw.
This is so fucking complicated my car has been down going on 4 months
At what point , after all of this do we " DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLES BEFORE WE SHOCK OURSELVES, !!!!!!!!!!!!"" come on man "SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY ",,,
rcast22651 doesn't need to worry about getting shocked, 12v isn't enough to hurt you. What you need to worry about is hydrogen gas in the battery igniting and exploding from a spark, which again would probably never happen lol
