Swapping out alternators on a 2.5 Rav4 2010 Alternator was bad even though it was recently rebuilt. put in a Brand new one from TYC. #2-11402 www.amazon.com...
Even though I see you've disconnected the battery, I never hear you say to do it. We can assume anyone attempting to swap an alternator would have this knowledge but it is an important first step that should be talked about. Good video and thank you!
That is one clean engine compartment. I tried to do it today because it is basic work. Gave up when I found out you need a Toyota specific tool for the belt tensioner. 13 was too small, 14 to big.
That bottome bolt is a mother to remove i busted a couple knuckles. now that the new alternator is in. on cold start up i hear a clicking noise for a minute then it goes away. hopefully it may be the brushes wearing in. ?
what kind of clicking? is the Alt new or rebuilt. Ive had a couple of rebuilt ones that clicked, sounded like the fan blades were hitting. After a few miles it went away. just bad Workmanship on the rebuilder. I would check the voltage at the alt and make sure it charging properly.
@@shuggakaine9257 At first i though it was the tensioner making the noise but it disappeared after about less than a minute . the alternator is rebuilt and is putting out 14.18 volts. i have to try again after setting overnight and driving the vehicle the day before. while driving the day before and stopping and restarting the noise was no long there.
