2012 Honda Civc ex
Simple vid on how to remove and install an alternator. The reason for replacement is the alternator was undercharging the battery causing it to have a weak start, weak battery.
Tools used:
DMM (Digital multimeter)
3/8 ratchet
12mm 3/8 socket
10mm 3/8 socket
10mm wrench
Pry bar
Flashlight
Alternator was purchased from Pepboys
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE JOB!!!!!!
You have 2 bolts holding the alternator in and a few others for the brackets. Getting the belt back on may be hard for a beginner but if you youtube search "how to install a drivebelt" you will find a lot of easy vids for this part of the job.

Oh man, I needed this video. I'm replacing mine with a little over 100k miles. That bottom bolt is a little bit of a pain to get out. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you for posting this video. I just replaced my alternator by following your instructions.

I was able to rwmove the alternator and replaced it thanks to your video but was never able to put that damm belt on i had to ask for help from a buddy to help me move the tensioner while i installed the belt Thanks for the instructions 👍👍

Just changed on my 09 Honda Accord. Boy that thing was hell to get, but of course installation was a breeze. But afterwards my car seems stronger. Don’t know how much money I saved by doing it myself. But I would say at least $300. But I got a good deal on a new alternator from Amazon. Good video.

@johnzambito1771 6 лет назад

Great video. It was a real big help. Especially the bolt sizes. Don't drop anything, you will NOT get it back. I went and bought 3 more 12mm sockets in case I dropped another one. The Honda service guy, George, said "It's probably not the alternator, It's probably the battery. Change the battery." Dumb ass was WRONG! I just wish I knew the torque setting for the 2 main bolts.

@johnzambito1771 6 лет назад

For the belt tensioner I cut off the open end of a 19mm combination wrench and bought a 5' x 3/4" conduit and that gave me plenty of leverage to move the tensioner.

@duaneafields 6 лет назад

John Zambito. If its already an open end, all u had to do is hook a round wrench on the open 19 side and theres your leverage. May sound confusing, but it works and locks in.

Do I need to only remove my negative terminal? I have a 2012 nissan altima and I just replaced the battery and had to use a memory saver a few days ago.. now I need to replace the alternator but not sure if I can just remove the negative terminal and my alternator installation will be a okay?

@jesuszuniga1257 5 лет назад

hi one quick question I have a 2012 civic LX sedan and was wondering if it's normal for my alternator to charge between 12.5-12.9 volt while running. read in the internet that it's for saving fuel unless I turn on the headlight I get the 14.4 volts

@bigabescanal2799 5 лет назад

Yea I noticed that my accord does the same thing. Honda said it's normal. Autozone said the alternator is bad. I've never had any issues starting the car. I added an extra ground on the battery. Now the volts stay at 14.6 while running. So upgrading to a fatter ground cable and maybe a fatter positive cable should help.

@adolfoestrada7134 5 лет назад

I got whining noise plus knocking sound on 2010 Honda CRV with only 33k, I tried to disconnect power connector from alternator while car is running but noise is still there, I wonder if it is really alternator that went bad.

@Leekautorepair 7 лет назад

Ok so your going about this the wrong way.........How about this, in this situation you need to do process of elimination so the first thing I would do is pinpoint the exact location of the sound. If there is a whining noise when the engine is on and noise increase at higher rpm's then try to remove the drive belt and see it the noise goes away. If it does then we know its not engine related so next try to spinning every pulley til you hear something unusual. Let me know how you make out..........

@delltek102 7 лет назад

OK will also record and post a video,

@delltek102 7 лет назад
