EASY 02'-06' Nissan Sentra 2.5L Alternator Removal 

It’s always good to see females proving everyone that they can also fix cars! Respect!!!!

I was skeptical at the begining because i saw you going straight to the alternator... and blah blah blah, but you did it like a boss. Thanks for this video, it saved my life

As a female motorhead who's been replacing bolt-on parts myself for 45 years now, I always appreciate seeing another woman doing the work herself. Also thanks for the tip on removing that support to get the alternator out. In compact cars the hard part is usually getting to the problem without removing a bunch of other parts that are in the way. You go girl! 🙂

thanks! it's nice to see a youtoube repair video from someone who knows what they're doing for once

It is so Awesome to see a woman work through car repairs with ease. Top notch !!

My mom passed away in early December. I now have her 2006 Sentra SE R auto with whopping 85K miles. It needs a lot of maintenance which a alternator is one. Thanks for the video I think I am going to give it a try after your video. Thanks.

I knew it had to be the simple. So many video did say you had to jack the car up and stuff.... i hate jacking the care up if i dont have to. Thank you

This was very helpful. You saved me messing with the belt idler pulley. Was an easy 1 hour job for the beginner.

I'm a lady, and I've been working on cars since 1974! Yay girl power!!!! Also, leave it to a female to find a smarter way to do it!!!

Male or female, if he/she is a mechanic, she is a fellow mechanic to me.. I was looking around to see if there was an easier way to tackle this specific job without having to take the tire off. Glad I stopped by here. Big help. Thanks.

Thank you so much perfect video. I’ve done alternators before just never got a Nissan Sentra, so I just wanted a refresher. I hate the videos where they tell you to take everything off when you don’t need to lol

thank you for this tutorial. you saved me money when i was down on hard times. you made a big difference with this vid.

Thank you for your video, omg! I replaced my alternator in less than an an hour(I'm a total rookie). I had other issues with a bad cable and broken rusted nuts/bolts, but over came the challenge. Thank you for showing how some things can he easy.

Yes! Best to work from the top and this video saves a LOT of time and hassle! Would be good to go over the needed tools at the beginning. Don't remember seeing you disconnect the plug wiring. Always good to show the right and easiest way to remove those buggers. Well Done!

Thanks for the help. It worked much better than other videos. The hard part was getting the bottom bolt on the left/wheel side of the alternator back in. But all and all, 10 mins getting off and about 20 getting back on. Thanks

Sizes to the point fast bypassed the BS good use of leverage I'm in LOVE!!😍😍😍😘

Yeah but how hard was it to get the new one back in and get the belt back on

Awesome. I'm going to change mine tomorrow morning at the parts store now lol. Couldn't be more simple

What a woman! Thank you so much for making life easier and cheaper for dumb men like me.

I didn't realize it was that easy, thank you!

Thank you! I watched four other videos before this one, and yours was absolutely the best. Three of the other four had people talking off all kinds of things to get at the alternator. The only other one that did not do that was filmed in a way that did not allow me to see what they were doing very well. You made it clear and simple. Great job!

Nicely done! Saved a ton of time watching this first...keep up the Charge Girl!!!

I been looking how to swap it out. this was the easiest way to get it done, from all the other I seen. Thanks

OK I just spent the last four hours working on mine, everything came off super easy, the difference is I don’t know about your year, but on the 2001 and 2002 there are two bolts that are shorter at the bottom. The one on the right side has literally no clearance for you to get a ratchet or anything down there. That’s what’s going on because I just spent three hours trying to get that one bolt off

That is a wonderful video it gave a better way to take off the alternator... Thanks from Mexicali Mexico Franco Perez....

GREAT JOB!!! Very precised

Get a pipe for $4.00 at Lowe's or home Depot. Now all your socket wrenches can be a breaker bar.

You are the best girl !! Go on with your bad self

thanks for this. just swapped the alty in my pulsar (aussie sentra). only difference was 2 small bolts either side at the bottom instead of 1 long one. May be why some have had to take of the heat shield (to get the socket on), but i just used a smaller el cheapo socket set and a pipe for leverage.

Nice 👍🏼 great videos definitely subscribing

what is your method for regaining tension on the belt AND threading the top mounting bolt. Are you able to position the new alternator, reroute the belt, and easily thread the lower, brass colored bolt back in? Once that is accomplished, are you able to use a pry bar to re-tension the belt, align the alternator top mounting hole and thread the short 14mm bolt back in with out it binding/cross threading it?

Will this work for the 1.8 Sentra? Also, do you have a video where you reinstall the alternator? Does it go back in as easily?

what tools were used?

Im also wondering about install does it go as easily as removal. I'm about to tackle this job tomorrow whether I l im e it or not.

Are you able to easily swap the alternator (from the top) with a new one, and get the belt back on.. without having to jack it up and remove the wheel?

What tools do I need specifically? And I got an extension arm and the socket wrench, what size? Thank you for your videos.

I love it here so i subbed

Changing the alternator in the 2.5l is easier than the 1.8l, which is much easier than the 2.0l engine.

First video I found thank you!

Yours is far easier than the 1.8L

Thank you for the video. Gotta do mine soon.

Women are amazing

Could you please tell the specific tools I need I sure would need and size. each , for each step.. I would appreciate it

Awesome video thanks…😊👍

Thank YOU! Going to do mine now.

Go 👧!!!!

Totally helped

I think since it’s an SE-R, it’s actually a 2.5 L engine!

😍😍😍 great job!

Video was of great help

How did you deal withe the tensioner?

Awesome. Thanks for the advice

Great job thank you so much.

Thank you soo much

which brand alternator do you recommend? my alternator is making a whining noise and failing (12.6v battery at idle).

Thanks for this too I just got called about this.

Thank you

You the best..

Always and forever without exception ring off your finger and jewelry off your wrists when you do something whether it was a car or a building.

The video quality is better than half of the videos on RU-vid but if you're serious about making RU-vid videos it might be worth investing in a better alternator

Not the case to take the alternator OFF. Putting it back on? Where is the vid on that>? Because looks to me like I have to take a bunch of things off...

was putting the belt back easy

There go my mechanic friend (in my head). i have a code p0456. i changed gas cap what you think i should do next?

Can you make a video for the 1.8 PLZ!

I wish I had your engine to remove the alternator my fuse box and resevor are different then yours

😺👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻😺

Love seeing females working on cars

Tight. A women doing it. I'm showing my cousin how to do it and the boom even better a women doing it
