You are not supposed to cut the stopper of the carbon brush cover. Once you install the carbon brush you have to push down the carbon one after the other and insert the cover, the part you cut is to hold the carbon, then screw the carbon holder back to the alternator and push down the cover. The carbon will release and contact to the slip ring.
Great video man thanks, but I’m not very car savvy. Where can I get a starter brush replacement for a 2015 Subaru Legacy 2.5i? I can probably figure out how to disconnect my alternator and swap out an old brush for a new one
Hi. Really useful video! I’ve got exactly the same alternator and would need to change the brushes but just not sure of the size or model of those brushes. Would you be able to give me a part number or anything so I know exactly what to buy? Thanks
Hi, i have the same alternator. Do you have a link to a listing on ebay for brushes that will work with this model as I cannot find any when putting in my model number. The alternator in this video is the same?
@@aimanamin3458 yes but when the battery light comes on does it stay on ? On my car the light battery comes on and it stays on for 1 or 2 seconds and then goes off.
brother i have ford fiesta mk6 1.4 tdci my problem is that whenever i start the car battery warning light comes on the dash but if i fully press the throttle all the way to 5k rpm it starts charging and light goes offf , plz help me to solve this issue . this problem started when i removed the battery
That could be the alternator just about to go out on you,look at what he is doing and replace the brushes on the alternator and it will be fix and it will save you money instead of buying a new one! Just go to a mechanic for a test and see if I am right then if I am then do what I suggest!!!
Is there an upgrade to brushless alternator? or at least a kit to convert it to a brushless alternator? to increase efficiency, life span & give constant power!
There is NOT a such thing. The principle of creating electric current for the battery, to charge the battery will remain the same. It is about creating electric current for a mechanical force (rotation of the rotor) by INDUCTION of a magnetic field into THE STATOR and from there getting collected by those brushes the he replaced. Anyway, those brushes should 2-3 hundred thousand of miles.. which is enough. In this time the bearings could fail EVEN if a brushless alternator it is ever being created! Nothing last forever!
@@MrFryfish In an alternator the field current is delivered by the brushes, and the generated power is taken from the stator windings. The why the stator wire is many times bigger in capacity than the field wires. This is one of the principal differences between old type generators and the alternators that have replaced them. (DC output, low output at low revs of traditional generators being the two others).
@@will_doherty (DC output, low output at low revs of traditional generators being the two others). Show me a pure DC output generator and I will eat it..
@@MrFryfish Early generators (upto the 60's in the UK) fitted to vehicles had a multipole commutator from which the generated power was taken, and passed to the regulator for control. They produced power that didn't need rectification - i.e. DC. I can guarantee that try as you might, you'd not eat one without mechanical assistance!
@@will_doherty I am sorry but I cannot just take/admits just words from you. A link would have helped you in proving that DC can be produced DIRECTLY out of winding.. OR AN INDUCED MAGNETIC FIELD can produce not AC, but DC current.. I am afraid I cannot believe. / A RECTIFIER always did it.. bigger or smaller, it was still needed if the current required were DC. Understood?
Min.3:54 De ce ai tăiat plasticul ăla? Când montezi regulatorul pe alternator, acel plastic de protecție se montează jumătate, nu îl împingi de tot. În felul ăsta ține cărbunii comprimați. După ce ai montat releul, decât împingi la maximum acel plastic de protecție și cărbunii se eliberează, atingând colectorul.
Yes you have to cut that plastic. You cannot fit the brushes and SOLDER THEM without posibility of attaching that cover afterwards.. That cover is factory fitted so it has no chance of falling off. Anyway there is a very small chance of falling it. From someone who rebuild similar alternator, replacing bearings, brushes, collectors.. I mean REBUILD IT.
Yes you do. At least 150w. You will have to desolder 3x thick wires that goes to stator and those suck a lot of heat until desoldering and sodering is happening and is reliable!
Wow no 15 min commentary and then a channel intro, straight to it. Thanks
Nice bro 😊
Yep, just like we like it. I'll take example from him from now on

Great info here, Thank you for having No annoying back ground music.
Good bro 😊
that was ominous when you came in with those snips, great video
Good bro 😊
THANK YOU! This exactly I need - step by step. Now I am ready to change carbon and repair it 👍
Nice bro 😊
3 Arms, that's got to be really useful.
LoL
@05:38
Yeah haha
Nice bro
What size are the bolts you’re unscrewing after you took off the cover?
Why didn't you use the BIG soldering iron?
Great video man thanks, but I’m not very car savvy. Where can I get a starter brush replacement for a 2015 Subaru Legacy 2.5i? I can probably figure out how to disconnect my alternator and swap out an old brush for a new one
Try ebay
Good bro
I'm about to swap out my rectifier..do I need high melting point solder to reattach to sator wires or will any solder do?
did u figure this out?
Hi I'm looking to replace the bushes in the alternator in my 90 series where would I get them from?
Try ebay
Nice bro
Just look for the make and model of the car and alternator and will find them in autozone

Do brushes go out suddenly or do they give warnings like alternator/battery dashboard light going on and off randomly ?
usually the battery light icon comes up
@@aimanamin3458 yes but when the battery light comes on does it stay on ? On my car the light battery comes on and it stays on for 1 or 2 seconds and then goes off.
it's probably a sign that's its about to go out
Nice bro 😊
@@ShakirAuto067I fixed it. It was the voltage regularator at the back of the alternator. The brushes were ok.

Alternator Battery light comes on. When I hammered it and it turns off. Is it the brush?

Tq great video bossku

Good working bro
wth, at 7:19 where did the third hand come from?
Nice bro 😊
2:27 what tool is that?
Soldering iron
It’s like a heat pen but bigger,it is use to weld!!!
You don't need to cut off the plastic, will help to install the new one

Wala sdguro sa dumaguete negros oriental?
No test?

In my case they replace whole carbon brush assy.
👍 Good.. Thanks you.
