This is the only really well made tutorial I’ve found on this task thank you
So glad you found this video helpful!!
The video was a huge help! Left the dreaded bracket off on the replacement alternator.
The 5 fasteners holding it in place are sufficient I figured.
Your video was a huge help! Your's is the best video on replacing the alterantor on a 5th gen 4Runner. You a100% right on the difficulty on the job. I also replaced my belt, that was also difficult to get it all lined up. Thanks for the video, you Go Girl!. Thank you so much for this video.
So glad you found this video helpful!! Great job on replacing the belt as well, there are SO many pulleys!
Really nice job. Great video quality too. Thank you.
Love the video ! Keep
Up the good work.
Thanks so much! I don't think I could have done this as easily without your video, it was awesome!
Excellent tutorial. It’s not a piece of cake, but it’s done. Thank you
Definitely NOT cake 😂. Especially compared to other generations of 4runner. Thank you for sharing the good news and I’m glad you found this video helpful
It's even harder to do one of these on an 09-14 FJ. Even less clearance between the alternator and wheel well. And to top it off, I spent nearly an hour trying to yank it out of there before I noticed the bracket of doom!
At least it’s over and you can laugh at the “bracket of doom”
Great tutorial. Helped immensely with swapping out my 2011 alternator. The hidden bracket is a pain because of my huge hands. I love Toyota’s over engineering until I have to work on it.
I’m sorry to hear that but I’m glad you were able to get the job done. Were you able to get in there with extensions?
And the job has only so many minutes allowed to complete.
I do have to tell you that your doing a great job. I wish I had small hands I'm jealous
100% this job is not made for anyone with big paws! Thank you for the compliment and it is definitely possible with large hands, just using lots of extensions
Great!
Fantastic video! Can’t believe this vehicle needed a new alternator! The vehicle looks new. Did you replace with an OEM Toyota alternator? Thanks!
This vehicle is new and did not NEED a new alternator but the customer wanted a higher output alternator for a speaker system + batteries he installed
Great video! Thank you. One question, do you think you could just unbolt the bracket from the engine and still get the alternator out? Keep the 4R videos coming👍👍
Hard no. If you leave the bracket connected to the alternator it won’t fit out of the opening because of the angle the alternator has to go in and out of
I have a question for you on the OEM alternator bearing it’s normal it gets locked by try to move on the right side?
Most Toyota engines rotate clockwise (to the right) so I’m not sure if I understand your question
