Kinda making a lot of work for yourself! Just unbolt the alternator and pull it out no need to take off motor mounts wipers seats and the glove box!
This guy deserved credit for providing all steps so beginner can follow and perform. This is a "How to" video for beginner, not for an experience and pro.
This video makes s fairly simple job extremely difficult...please watch another video if you are DIY
Eh yo!!!! I just wanted to change the goddamn alternator!
Step 1: Completely disassemble the entire vehicle.
i watched this video before replacing my alternator. I proceeded to ignore basically all of it and just released tension, unbolted the alternator, pulled it out and replaced it.
Don't make extra work for yourself, this video has you taking apart everything just to replace possibly the most accessible alternator i've ever seen on a modern vehicle

It seems overkilled unless this video also tries to show how to change the belt.
Very professional Thank you for helping people like me god bless you.
Great Tutorial. Easy to follow. thanks
What year specifically is the RAV4 you worked on? Thank you for sharing and God bless.
I've done this a few times and learned that the best way to install the belt is by looping it around the compressor pulley last. Saves so much time and aggravation. But I've never had to remove a motor mount 🤔
Nice video, but you failed to mention the lower, motor mount stud, anchored by a 14MM nut. I discovered this by accident with a mirror, when I removed the bolts & nuts that you demonstrated, but my motor mount refused to budge. When you removed & reinstalled the motor mount in its cavity, you can clearly see the stud. Perhaps, an edit of this video is warranted, to save DIYers, like myself, a lot of frustration
+bobioni57 Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team. 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
There is also two types of Alternators with one having a S-pin or a RLO-pin for the square plug. Best to check before buying and installing.
10:02 correct block side torque specs per Toyota service manual; top nut and bolt are 70 ft lbs, the bottom side middle nut is 38 ft lbs.
You forgot to mention the 14mm nut on the upper motor mount! Access from below with long extensions!
So my altenator is at 40 percent, making bad squeals and the clutch isn't engaging mechanic reccomends changing the whole altenator out...... so that's where I am with this car. Do I have to change the belts aswell and or the other pulleys? I really need helpnwith this head ache of a car.
is it at all possible to install the belt without taking off the motor mounts?
Yes
You’re a professional thank you God bless
Thanks for doing this video!
Hey guys I just did this job and let me tell you that its IMPOSSIBLE to put the serpentine belt back on from the top. You have to go from underneath the vehicle to do this inorder to finish replacing the alternator or serpentine belt.
Step 1: Reinstall new alternator
Step 2: Using a 14mm combination wrench (with ratcheting function), put closed end of wrench on the center bolt of tensioner pully (not the top one closest to coolant reservoir)
Step 3: Going in a clockwise direction, turn tensioner pully to give you slack all the way. keep going until your behind the bottom left wheel and place the wrench on top of the wheel so you no longer have to hold it. (Trust me you will see what im talking about)
Step 4: Fit the serpentine belt around all wheels except the bottom right wheel.
Step 5: Put a socket wrench on the BOTTOM LEFT WHEEL NUT
Step 6: Turn bottom left wheel and feed the belt onto the bottom right wheel until it snaps itself on. (like putting on a bike chain)
Here's a video with a picture of a diagram displaying the proper alignment for the belt. He also states putting the belt back on by turning the wheels. czcams.com/video/1AakUBbs2uY/video.html
Made way to much extra work for yourself not sure why you took the motor Mount out you don’t need to

are you replacing the whole engine, lol
is that a 3.5L?
how many amps is the rav4 2007 alternator?
This is obviously not a v6.
I have about 2 inches between the block and the radiator to fit the alternator through.
This is great. First buy a lift.
Go to any other video to save yourself hours of unnecessary work
Can’t believe this was posted🤣🤣
