    Great video! Quick pro tip, if you take the grill off and that cross member, its a lot easier and only takes an extra 5 minutes. It gives you so much more room for your hands. Same with anything on the back of the motor, take the wipers off and remove that entire cowl assembly, only takes 5 minutes and opens up so much room.

    Hi There Chrisfix, helpful video here, great job. One really important point regarding the SRS airbag trigger. That is attached to the frame rail of the car in that specific location for a very important reason. That is the crumple and shock zone for impact, which will deploy the airbags correctly when an appropriate impact necessitates their deployment. Moving it will absolutely jeopardize this functionality - resulting in a lack of deployment, as such you really need to amend your video to recognize this fact. You should not lead others into modifying their cars in a way that compromises anyone's safety. Kind regards.

    I'm putting my fourth alternator in my 2006 xB. I hit a deer at 154k miles and the right headlight is a big hole with a couple of aftermarket LED lights, one for low beam and one for brights (use six "fishey" 3 watt bulbs". I finally figured out that the alternator is seeing WAY TOO MUCH water and the bearings just can't take it. It's at 224k miles now and looks like I could avoid ever replacing the alternator again if I can protect it from water. I'm just going to use plastic sheets and zip cords to form a splashguard myself.
    BTW, I had to lift the engine a bit to get the alternator out. At least now I have a nice shop and don't have to do it on my lawn. :)

    My '06 has 318990 miles. First alternator went in 2018 at 265K. It killed the original 12+ year old battery. Had just has my right shoulder rebuilt and in a bolster sling so I was down my primary arm and reaching across my bod to shift gears lol My poor little cube died on the highway w/o warning, on a Sunday, 95 miles from home. I had it hauled to the Olympia, WA, Toyota dealer (I don't recommend them) and opted for not going with the $400 alternator (plus installation) and went with the only other alternative they would consider which was $195 alternator and $200 for diagnostics and installation. For the record I hate car dealers and car dealerships! So this week the car flat out died w/o any prior warning, again. Drove home in the dark w/o headlights on. If I put on the lights the car died. The idiot lights on the dash were ablaze. Replaced the battery. That was good for 10 miles. Lights are back on. Next step, replace the alternator. I've got 2 good arms now but might need to find a second set of hands to help. Thanks for the vid.

      Recap- we (3 sets of hands and a lot of cussing lol) did the alternator swap yesterday morning. Skinned knuckles all around but minimal bleeding. Take Air Mechs (below) tip and remove the grill and cross member. Terribly simple and indeed gave more room. I'd also suggest putting on the parking break, choking the rear tires and pull the right front tire for easier access to putting the belt back on. Also observe how the belt is "threaded" before removing it. You can't really take a pic w/your phone but try anyways. We didn't. I got online and could not come up w/a pulley/belt configuration that matched my little '06(?). WE got lucky and finally got it after... 45 minutes of trial and error. That danged air bag sensor bracket is definitely a bugger. We removed it and attempted to reinstall after the alternator was in and could only get one bolt on that sensor bracket. I can live w/that. We got the tension right/correct on the belt as now my little cube doesn't chirp and squeal when cold.
      In some different vids by other dudes on this topic one guy loosened the motor mount and lifted the engine?!! That's not really necessary in my opinion. There is an AC hose quite fast in the way and we worked around it. On one dudes vid he talked belt flexion. This is the sideways twist/wiggle once installed which is a reflection of belt tightness and which reminds me of the "yaw" of pitch, roll and yaw of a planes flight path. Apparently there a tool to measure flexion that I was blissfully ignorant of and apparently isn't 100% necessary as we got it correct.
      My buddy Sub-aroo Dan (he worked on my Sub when I had one) cautioned me to not surrender the core until you are sure you have the correct part. AND... don't do what I did and leave the new belt you paid for on the counter at NAPA. The old belt (almost 5 years old) went back on and I'll get a refund on the belt when I return the core for my deposit. It was in great shape and have good belt karma so far in life and haven't shed a belt on a rig in 30 years.
      I'm def not impressed w/the alternator installed by the dealer 5 years ago. The little car sat out most of 2017 in the garage at home as I was on a detail to our Austin office and had a rental there, and 2020-2021, due to the pandemic and teleworking from home. I don;t think the alternator has 30K on it :(
      AND... when we removed the old alternator we discovered the top bolt bracket inward to the engine was broken off at the housing for the alternator!!? One would assume the core is inspected prior to rebuilding and a visible crack would be seen and the part culled. Could the mechanic at Toyota have dropped the alternator and cracked it and it broke under tension.stress of operation? Gurr!

Made it to next town and had it towed in, they said it'd be ready in the morning around 10, (motel right next to shop) it was 1:30 and $700 later we finally was back on road. Tough with 2 ferrets in cages! Now I'm having issues again, already did new battery last week, now I have to replace altenator again😢, then husband says he's not sure if it's even that ugh.

    OK Mr. Extreme Daily, hope U can take a little feedback. First it is a great video because its 20 times better than any video i have made. I liked how you used the simple voltmeter test, to prove the alternator isn't charging. BUT dont like when U relocate the SRS Airbag switch. They bolted it to a major frame piece. Youve bolted it to softer material. OK OK probably will work, but really you know the safety critics won't agree with relocating that. There was probly 20 engineers and 12 lab tests when they placed it. Now you're on soft metal, there is that little risk what if it don't work right. BUT THE REAL PROBLEM WITH your video? There is the little connector on the alternator, BELOW the power bolt. Look I'm just a driveway dude want to get this job done tired of being ripped off by both dealers and small shops alike, they are all criminals and i have the proof. So I want to just get this done on Saturday, AND you say "just fiddle with the small connector until it comes loose". WTF ???? FACT that GD connector is on there so hard, they might as well arc-welded it. You say "just fiddle with it". May i suggest hone your movie making skills to provide us with info we DO NEED. If I pull the alternator myself, I need to be as efficient as the guy at the Stealership, or it doesn't pencil out. When you say "just fiddle with it" you just cost me 90 minutes of my life. I am off to other videos to figure out what to do. ALSO i do NOT know what you are doing at junkyards digging for old pieces of splash guard. That just did not make a droplet of sense to me. But anyways, you at least got me started, did NOT get me finished, but thanks for trying.

      I can tell you are new to the channel. This may have seemed like a "how to video", but it's more of a "what I'm working on in the garage this week" video. That's how the whole channel is set up. There are 100 videos on UA-cam on "how to change an alternator" I even reference Chris Fix's channel in the beginning of the video. If you want to see step-by-step how to do something, go watch his channel. Lots of people do. If you want to have fun watching someone who is NOT a mechanic work on his car and try to have a fun time doing it, watch my channel. As far as the airbag relocation goes, as I said in the video, I didn't plan on getting into an accident, so the relocation didn't matter. I no longer own the car, and I didn't crash it.

    With the squealing issue, that’s due to the belt not being tight enough from what I’ve read on some forums. Theres a threaded hole that I believe is M10 which can accept a bolt to use as a prying surface vs accidentally breaking the VVTI solenoid. You basically pry against the bolt/alternator to tension the belt a little easier. Good to see you fixed it though! I had an alternator issue not too long ago myself, hence the info.

I’m working on this now and stopped to check a video real quick before I went any further to make sure that I can pull the alternator out of the top because the other options are definitely not fun. Lol by looking at the alternator you can see the easy bolts to work on and he did highlight and show the one difficult bolt that can make doing this job a pain. I’m going to go ahead and pull off the airbag sensor bracket which should give me enough room so that the bolt isn’t such a pain in the ass. These Toyota alternators were the real deal! 160 thousand miles on my scion XB, four or five different high amperage drawing stereo, systems, and this stock alternator powered them all. Pretty impressive. Wasn’t even upset when I saw the battery light come on lol. 🔊🔊👍👍

    Not a total surprise that the alternator checks good. First check is always the various grounds and how good they are....especially as the car ages. Next, for this topic....the Voltage regulator.....then the alternator, last. My 2005 xA has 292,000 miles on the original alternator....and I plugged-in the Autool 60 gauge on my dash, which tells me the real-time voltage of the alternator as the car runs...and also shows the reading a few seconds longer, when the car is turned off.... so in this way it shows the off-condition battery voltage. BTW..... 12.3 V is not a good charge on the battery.
    Full charge is 12.65 -12.8V,
    75% charge is about 12.4 - 12.5V
    50% charge is about 12.2 -12.3V
    25% charge is about 12.0 V...anything less is basically "Dead"

      I considered the upgraded alt bracket, but ultimately decided it was unnecessary. When install correctly, you shouldn't have any issues with the stock piece. I haven't in almost 300k. As far as the alternator goes, yes Denso is the best, but also 3x more than I paid. Thanks for watching.

    Yes the squealing is from the belt not being tight enough. To take the long bolt out I had loosen the left side engine mount and jack the engine up a bit. Awesome vids love ‘Toaster Tuesday’s’! 👌🏼

      Extreme Daily Drivers yes actually only need about half inch to an inch of clearance. One thing I was hoping to see was a tip of using a bolt to use as leverage when tightening the alternator. It’s an extra whole on the alternator bracket. I had to do this whole procedure about a month ago. Broke the bolt that holds the alternator. Surprisingly easily replaced.
