Thanks, got my alternator replaced in about 3 1/2 hours including a break for dinner and a trip to the auto parts store for a new serpentine belt. Very thorough and helpful video that helped avoid the pitfalls.
I had to replace my Alternator in my '12 Tundra 5.7L recently. I wanted to say 'Thank You' for the VERY instructional video. You saved me hours of trying to figure out what to remove and what not to... GREAT JOB!!!
Glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching!
On an 2007 Tundra 4.7 there are 3 bolts to loosen the power steering pump, two upper and one lower. No need to remove any wires from the pump. Pull the PS pump forward, grab the alternator and turn it backwards to pull it out of the wheel well. Thanks for your help to get me started!
Best video for replacing alternator on a Tundra I have see so far 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Thank you for this video. It is very detailed. I followed your instructions and successfully replaced the alternator on my 2010 Tundra 5.7L. The only issue that I ran into was the welded nuts that hold the sway bar bolts inside the frame was broke loose when I used an impact driver to remove them. So I had to cut the holes on the side of the frame bigger to insert a 19mm socket inside to hold the nuts. For older Tundra, I recommend removing the bolts slowly with a breaker bar and some Liquid Wrench, not with an impact driver.
H Con i bought my alternator from a local store. Make sure you get the right one for your truck, my was 150 amp. It took me about 4 hours. Just be careful and go slow with the sway bar bolts. I also recommend to replace the driving belt since you have everything open up. If it is not bad, then just spray it with belt dressing before you put it back in or your belt might squeal. Take pictures of your belt with all the pulleys before you remove it so know how to put it back. Good luck and have fun.
NO!!!Belt dressing. That sh*t is bad!!
One of the best instructional videos out there. We just replaced the alternator on our 2017 Tundra 4.6. This video made it super easy. Thank you!
Thanks for making this video! It really made the job easier for me. I did not have to remove the sway-bar. I was able to get the alternator our thru the wheel-well pretty easily. The trick was to push the power steering pump as far up and forward as it would go then orient the alternator with the pulley facing up and it came out without too much effort. Just a tip for the next guy.
Eric D thank you for watching and the tip!!
Thank You for the heads up! About to replace the alternator in my 2012 Tundra & I am going to try that! 😉
I just wanted to say thank you for making this video. It helped me successfully replace my alternator and serpentine belt.
Wow! Great video with the socket sizes and torque specs. My 2010 had the tow package and had an extra bracket and cooling lines that had to be repositioned in the fender well window as well. I also had to take off the bottom radiator hose to make room because of those cooler lines.
Thanks for this video! I just finished this job and this method of replacement was alot better than removal of the fan and draining the radiator fluid. However i didn't have a lift so i just turned my wheels all the way to the left which gave me enough space to get to that PS pump.
DEFCONZERO glad the video helped out. Thank you for watching!
DEFCONZERO glad the video was able to help. Thank you for the tip and thank you for watching!
Wow there is one still alive, I got to call Ripley's! I have VIDEO proof that there is still a Mechanic alive. Golf clap ongoing. You call that "The Right Stuff"
Thank you, this is a very detailed video. You are very good at camera work. How long should this take with this method?
Me: (two days later) FINALLY got the alternator out!
Also me: Maybe it would have been worth it to just pay a shop to do this.
This was a great video! Unfortunately, all four of my bolts for the front sway bar only turned a few times until the nuts and the bolts just spun and spun. I had to cut off all the bolts! Drill a hole in the side of the frame just big enough to fish in a new nut and a wrench to hold onto it while I tightened them. Other than that, you saved me big bucks Brian!
William Madara Man sorry you had to go Through all that extra work. Glad the video is helpful though. Thank you for watching!
Same thing just happened to me. From reading forums it seems your fix the the best option
@@NickBealMaine You just saved yourself enough money to go buy yourself something stupid and have fun.
Thank you ,with out your help I was never be able to figured out the work. Good job my brother!!
What I hate about my Tundra, it's so hard to work on it. Everything is packed closely together and difficult to get to
All vehicles are pretty much like that! Want a treat? Work on set generators where wiring & sharp edges abound as well as tight quarters! BTDT many times. Just like the gentleman in the video shows, you make room & convenience "adjustments" where you can.
Whoever comes in after you is going to hate you for putting that red locktite on the sway bar bracket bolts. Those don't typically back out, and blue would have been MORE than enough. Red has to be heated to 550F or greater to get off, and if somebody doesn't know it's there, can potentially snap those bolts in the frame if they try to impact them out without knowing it's there. Otherwise, everything else was a great video.
A very detailed video by How to Do Automotive. Keep up with your great content. Thanks.👍 Keep those wrenches spinning. ☮
Thank you will do!
Thanks that saved me ssoooo much money - the dealer price was nuts for labor and parts - took me forever but it's done
Thanks that pin came off and I was like wtf where did it came from!!! Thanks doing mines now
BRUT3MURD3R3R Glad to help. Good luck with the repair and thank you for watching!
I had high hopes doing this job myself after watching this video. It made it look fairly straight forward and quick.
However I did not have that experience AT ALL. Every single bolt or clip was absolutely awful to remove, with proper tools. The second bottom bolt on the alternator is almost impossible to reach with any tool and it took about 2 hours to get it out. About 45 min to get it back in. I highly recommend getting a mechanic to do the job. It isn't worth saving money over.
EDIT: after rewatching the video there are definitely some differences that I've noticed on my truck which is a 2010.
The transmission lines are completely in the way of the 2 lower bolts of the alternator. There is no way to disconnect them and I had to pull on them as hard as I could while ratcheting the bolts out and back in. A very tedious job.
Best Video for this model vehicle! No bullsh**💯🤙🏼
Thank you!
I hope my alternator and starter last a very long time because I like working on my own vehicles I don't like other people touching my stuff. but don't not look forward to doing that
Hopefully yours will last for years to come. Thank you for watching!
Currently one day into this, with lots of anger breaks. On another note my 2014 tundra is currently for sale, can't own something that it is this hard to replace a simple alternator. Great video though.
Sorry, your car is giving you so much trouble. Thank you for watching!
This dude make shit so easy when I try to remove screw or wires it too tight or the screw brake in half like what the fuck
Pulled mine out from the bottom. Jacked up the truck, let the tires hang.
Removed shield.
Rubber mat by wheel
Left wheel on
Serpentine Belt removal
3 alternator bolts. 130 A have towing package
Did not need to remove hoses or power steering pump. Power steering pump had 2 bolts and 1 nut on the front by the pully. Wasn’t necessary to remove.
Pulled out from the bottom from where I removed the rubber mat.
Discounting the sway bar wasn’t necessary
thanks for making this content is very good congratulations for sharing and helping others im greeting from North Dakota
Just replaced alternator in a 13 year old land cruiser- only one hiccup besides all the cramped spaces- one bolt broke off in the mounting clamp- tried easy out - had to drill out but clamp / block is soft metal and bolt is hard metal- finally got out and had to use a bolt through bolt
Paul Presto sorry that happened but congrats on Getting it done. I think you’re watching!
Thanks for your vids- saved a bunch of money - couple scratches on the hand and 4 1/2 hours ain’t too bad.Thanks
Holy crap! Tundra owners fixing their own alternator and starters are taking a shifting. This looks like hell! Surely with a Toyota this is a rare task to do?
Yay it’s a pain. Thank you for watching!
How similar is this to a 2013 GX460 with same motor... after looking this is as close as I can get to finding a video on alternator replacement.
Thanks for doing this video. It's a great for users like me.
I'm having to replace my alternator on a 2016 tundra... it's only got 87,000 miles on it. not to happy about that. it has been overcharging my battery and now its swollen and leaked some fluid...
You are a patient man. I will pay toyota to do it.
3:20 top bolts 14mm
One of the best videos I have watched. I have 2007 5.7 4WD Creww Max so I am assming it will be similar. My questions is where do I find what my amperage is the alternator I have wthout removing it. I see 100,, 130 and 150Amp ffers. I do have a limited Edition which has the tow package but have not put wench on it yet or a bunch of lights. I do would like to put a wench on it in the future. I nearly 400K miles n this truck and I plan on keeping it since it has lasted this long and all I have replaced are starters and fan clutch. I think I have good one. Can you offer any suggestions
Did you ever find the amp to the alternator? I have the exact same vehicle except just the sr5
Any idea on if the brass inserts aren't there that maybe that's why the truck won't charge normally after installing I've been fighting trying to figure it out all the fuses meter out and at this point it's either that or my reman alternator ia shot before installing it.
This is an amazing video, thank you. For some reason my power steering holes do not line up to put the bolts in. They are way to far apart verse the 2 on the receiving end. Any advice?
Excellent job you're the pro!!
Thank you! Great video!
Does this work for a 5.7 as well I looked at mine seeing if I could take it out before spending a fortune on a shop
Good job thanks from Puerto Rico
Fernando Flores thank you for watching! I’m in San Diego 👍
Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
I changed my alternator but now my check engine light is on ?
Do you need to pull the code. Most likely something got unplugged
You’re right something was unplugged
Thank you so much and God Bless you
hey man whats the color code on the alternator plug? its labeled 1234 on the pins but mine ripped off my truck and I just need know which color goes
Great video! Thanks!
Very nice video, congratulations
Joselos Lopez thank you!
How many miles did that truck had for the altenator to be replaced?
MINE 158000 my turn today
Where can you buy the Alternator dowel pins for the alternator? Any Links for the alternator dowel pins please help i need to dowels been searching and cant seem to find it
You make it look easy buddy... Whats the actual time for whole job?
HEMI LOVER He definitely makes it look easy. When your experienced it makes a huge difference!
HEMI LOVER 4.8 hours The book says you need to take the radiator out.
I followed this video step by step. It took me about 4 hours and I have very little experience.
I miss my Fx4
What on earth were the engineers who designed this thinking!?!?
how many miles before replacement of 2007 tundra alternator mine had 57.000 miles
John Daniel I believe this one had around 110,000
So I guess that I got 345K miles out of my alternator on my 2008 5.7 4x4 I am doing really good. Unfortunately it still isn't an hour job like on the older vehicles
Merci
Another realy nice video.
but that alternators looks like are realy pain to replace.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
