No problem! Glad it helped! These cars are really well engineered! Easy to work on

@@davidpuffer7661 thanks for the support! Glad the video helped out!

I like the part where he was pulling it out, got stuck, paused then tada! Sitting on the intake

@@zeronw7612 process should pretty much be the same, the body style and engine stayed the same maybe just slightly different harness but the major steps in this vid should be the same

🤤

Yes should be pretty similar

Yes a price of cardboard or wood would be great but I’ve changed this one out 3 times already so really used to it

Thanks for your support!

nice! Thanks for your support! its an easy swap and kinda fun ha Goodluck!

It's easier this way, done a full swap and running in 5 hours taking breaks. Love 4 cylinders 😊

Mines 2x worse and I have to do the oem alternator on a 06 with 150k. Brake cleaner? Super degreaser soak? Replace all pulleys, new alternator and belt? Is the sludge acting like a gasket? I'm not doing any gaskets. This was a loaded test drive model that all the women in the family (even the "men") were EXTREMELY hard on and I've had to fix since the warranty expired. I've bought it a brand new set of tires 6 months ago that have been in the trunk and backseat. I bought Lifetime alignment at pep boys after I rebuilt the suspension, all they have to do is make an appointment. I know I'm going to punch a hole in the radiator even with cardboard. One guy claims you can't get the bolt out, the other video makes no mention of it. I'm going the remove everything route- tire, plastic, dipstick, every connector, radiator hose 4 brackets. 😢

Oh yea the head gasket seems to have been going out on that car causing the leak. Seems to be a common issue with the higher mileage ones. The leak kept making the alternator go bad so the owner of the vehicle decided to sell it a few months after this video was made.

Oh yes this alternator is pretty tuff compared to other vehicles but if you do what I did in this video it should cover all the steps

I tried a swivel, it was too long! And hard to get the socket on the plug with it. There’s a piece of metal that sticks out too much from the body so I don’t think it will work unless you found a stubby swivel (;

Make sure to put it on the low side if you have a diy can! R134a is not sold in Washington however

Thanks for your support!

Can never be too easy

It takes at least 5 times more time wasted to take off the tire and fender liner than to just use a stubby? So this is actually saving y’all time

Idk if you got a stubby, I think it’s easier to use it than to take out the tire 🤔

Inner fender liner not in the way?

@@thangknowa3288 yea I think you’d have to remove the fender liner too if you remove the wheel so the stubby way is a lot easier. You still got a bad angle to deal with too going through the wheel well

Yep, that's what I thought, thanks for posting. I would anti seize that plug's threads too, for future visits!@@tonytorques

@@thangknowa3288 yes. It has some clips and about 3 screws.

I’ll try that if I ever have to do this job again 🤙🏽

If you got a manual transmission it’s actually easier to do the same engine pull, you can do it the same way too!

@@tonytorques but the clutch has to be removed from the fly wheel, otherwise there isn’t enough clearance to pull the engine up. The torque converter can be detached, but I’m not sure the clutch can be, or can it be?

@@TimezUp23 ah ok yea the flywheel cannot be unattached without taking out the pressure plate and clutch first, you may be able to jack up the engine and trans together to get the clearance to pull the trans out first then the engine so it actually would be a little more work

No problem! Thanks for the shout out

I think it is the same since the transmission is the same and only the block is bigger but process is similar

Thanks!

Thank you for your support! Really appreciate and I’m dedicating my videos towards making everything easy, straight to the chase and simple for everyone! Please subscribe to show your support! 🤌🏼 I’d highly appreciate it

howd it go man?

@@rjoog super easy job

Unbelievably simple. Your instructions were spot on. I'm fairly mechanically inclined, but car parts can scare me a bit. The whole process took less than an hour and that includes a trip to AutoZone for some new hose clamps!

@@callahan40151 thanks! That’s what I do best just keep it simple and straight to the point for all my repair videos 💯

No problem! Thanks for the support!

I didn’t lose much! I had to top it off with about a quarter of a quart (1/16” of a gallon) so barely anything but I did face the hoses upwards immediately after removing them that way minimal fluid is lost 🤙🏽 no problem! Please like and subscribe to show your support (:

Thanks! It’s a little tuff but not bad

Thanks! It was a real tricky one but I provided enough info to make it easy 🤙🏽 please consider subscribing to show your support! Thanks (:

Yes it does if you’re pulling the engine, check out the rav4 engine removal video I made it gots all the details! 🤙🏽

Yea it would! But it gets hot enough in there and the bolts spin too quickly for any corrosion to grow so it’s fine

No problem! Please subscribe to show your support! Thanks!

No problem! Oh yea it’s not bad of a job at all

My bad 🥲 I recorded that video on like some iPhone 10

I’m not entirely sure, did you remove them from the transmission itself? Cause they just go into the radiator ports at the bottom and back to the transmission on the other end

@@tonytorques nope, I only recalll removing taking them out the raidiator ports when I took them out

Dang if it’s seized and no way it’s gonna turn, then you would have to remove the engine oil pan and then disconnect the main rod bearings caps from the crankshaft. That way the crankshaft can free spin and allow you to turn it over

@@tonytorques ugh!

Plz I want the exact name and number and spec No of this engine like it’s acv31 or avc36 and model

Thanks! It took me about 8 hours to do 🤔 would have been faster if I had all the tools ha

Not really, you can try the tool but there’s a flange within the steel connector that won’t allow you to easily pop it off. Just finding the right tool would take a lot longer than just pressing the tabs as shown in the video 😂

Thanks! Glad to help 💯

Hi I bought mine at Orielly auto parts

Hey it wasn’t much, took about 1 gallon to refill 🤙🏽

@@tonytorques bro tysm i changed my radiator yesterday thanks to ur video, u deserve way more views, stay safe 👍

@@angelsi66 thanks! I’m tryna come up but subscribers are the hardest to get 😓

try posting a lil more, ik when its about tutorials on how to work on cars is kinda hard but maybe you can also try reviewing cars, maybe going to car meets and record it, stuff like that attracts more ppl bro you’ll get up there one day fs

@@angelsi66 thanks for the hype! I may try mixing it up soon now that summer is starting 🤙🏽

Thanks for the feedback! It’s honestly not that bad of a job hardest part is yanking out the engine and that bolt holding the cv-axle bracket. May be worth spraying it a few days ahead cause it was crazy tight on mine

@@tonytorques haha sooo about that. I got the job all done this morning runs like a champ for a junkyard engine. But the bearing on the cv axle that sits in that bracket you are talking about was so seized in there I ruined the axle. Had to pry and air hammer it out. It was like a 100$ so not horrible. Lol but your video helped out big time. I was planning on dropping out bottom. Glad I didn't do all that. Thanks bud

@@justin7943x glad you got it done! I’m telling ya that bracket was one of the worst to deal with ha great to hear that the video helped! Not too bad then 🤙🏽

No problem! Did you check what your fuel pressure rating on that line is?

Hope all went well! It’s easy!

Easy monie 🤙🏽

Easiest way is to unbolt the two 10mm bolts and removing it from the rail. I think it’s pressed in so you can’t remove it from the flange area or at least risk messing it up if you do so

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 one thank you so much. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@mrpiano1990 I’d take 1 subscribe as appreciation 😂

Straight up! The quality is amazing! Cheap if you buy them online too! Well worth it! They brake really nice too!
