replacing a 2008 Kia Sorento 4x4 3.3L Alternator

you will need a three-quarter inch socket and Ratchet, 8mm and 12 mm socket and Ratchet. A crowbar, needle nose pliers, small channel locks and good lighting. the Pliers are used to help take off the clips and the channel locks are used to help take out the electrical plug-in that goes into the alternato. Foot note: if you're trying to start your car and it has one click, then it's your starter. If it has multiple clicks it's your alternator.

2:15...its a 19mm....kia/hyundai are all metric...though i suppose 3/4 would work but its always better to use the right size

Hi so I’m doing this same thing on my vehicle (same as the one in this video) and after I removed the two bolts, it wouldn’t come out at all and I realized there are extra bolts that the first two bolts you removed screw into. I’ve tried getting a ratchet back there, a monkey wrench, channel locks, everything but I can’t seem to get them out. How did you remove them?

[@demarcorobinson1929]

There’s only 2 bolts. You have to use a crow bar or something to pry it loose. Place the crow bar in between the space under the top bolt.

Hey I'm so sorry I post videos but I never really think about people commenting. I know that's stupid of me but anyways, I hope you were able to get it done. So sorry I couldn't help
