You are the first guy on RU-vid that doesn't rattle on trying to get your info out. So many men just babble on incessantly. Tx for the clear & concise instructions along with the excellent video footage.

@sawdustinn5784 5 лет назад

I didn't have the fancy tools for the job, but your video saved me a pricey labor charge at the repair shop! My neighbor and I were able to change out my wife's CRV alternator in just a couple of hours with basic wrenches. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It's a great service to DIYers everywhere!

@RoyGregorio 2 года назад

1:47 - Surprised no one has mentioned this, but you are supposed to turn clockwise to loosen the tension of the pulley, NOT counterclockwise.

@loudnoises4627 3 года назад

Definitely giving you the credit for actually doing this the easiest way possible. It’s so much easier when you remove the tire and splash guard. Thank you! You saved me soo much pain and time

What worked for me was removing the radiator fan next to the alternator as well as removing the bolts to the upper radiator support/brace, but not completely removing. This gave me so much more room to work that it was worth the additional 20 mins effort.

Thanks for the video. Helped a lot. One thing I found was moving the tension pully makes it easier to pull the old alternator out and get the new one in

@darylmartin7195 2 года назад

Helped me out quite a bit, although my alternator got stuck for about an hour trying to pull it out after bolt removal.

@papagummybear 5 месяцев назад

Watched a few vids on how to do this and went with yours. Much appreciated!!! It took me about 3 hours. Those 2 bottom bolts on the alternator kicked my butt. I didn’t have a ratchet with that swivel like you did. It would have probably made it easier and saved me some time.

This is the most logical and well laid out how-to CRV alternator replacement video on youtube. Thank you very much for taking the time to document your work. It saved me time and money. It was still a huge pain the the rear to complete the replacement but I can't imagine how hard it would've been without your help!

@adamsauve Год назад

This helped me a lot, I did my GF's 08 CRV. A couple of things, I came across. I tried to reuse my belt, and I accidentally got it caught behind my new alternator and there's no way I was taking it off again, so be mindful of that. I was able to barely get the passenger side bolt cracked with a 18" breaker bar and a short 12mm, then I took a 1" extension with the bar and 12mm to break the driver side bolt free, there is an AC line in the way of that one... Then I went back up and was able to take the two bottom bolts off by hand, standing facing away from the car... Remember to leave the top bolt in place so you can easily remove the bottom bolts. Other than that, the only advice I would like to give, is make sure you have a SHORT 16 point mm socket for the belt pulley, I rented one from Advanced Auto, and it was a 5 point, and no matter which way I oriented it, there wasn't enough room to pull on the pulley.

@jacobzeba0137 Месяц назад

Used this to make a how to list on replacing alternator and belt, haven't used it yet, but I hope my dad and I get it right, thank you for having the specific video I need, we need both belt and alternator, this was super helpful.

@walter.bellini 2 года назад

Brian Thank you for the exact fast perfect to the tee video. My wife’s alternator went out last night and so today I am going to take out the bad alternator and have my local ignition shop rebuild it fresh so that I keep the original Honda part/casing. Going to go purchase a nice Serpentine Belt Tool kit as that is always a good investment. Of course replace the serpentine belt as well. I also became member to ALLDATA for my my wife’s CR-V and my Toyota Highlander, wonderful portal for all the DIY info you’ll need for car repair. Thank you very much Brian!!

This guy makes it look so easy with power tools let him try doing it with hand tools and see what he gets it'll take him a long time unless it's a brand new car. So take what you want from that so far it's taking me 4 hours to try to get the alternator out of the the car I have removed all the plastic molding the tire and everything it is still not easy to access the nuts and it is not easy to get the damn thing out

@HowtoAutomotive 5 лет назад

It is tough to get it out of there it’s in their tight. But I definitely use power tools to speed it up.

Best video out there. Just replaced my alternator and this video and comments made changing out the alternator a couple hour job with no surprises. Car is back on the road today and charging fine.

@chrisconley5123 2 года назад

Thanks. The pace of the video is beautiful. I felt like a midwife getting the alternator to pass through on the way out. FYI, if you use a piece of clothesline rope as a handle (or heavy gauge wire, etc) through one of the bolt holes it makes it so much easier. After playing with it with my big hands in the way, and not getting it out, I used the rope for a handle and pulled it in seconds because I could see all the obstructions better.

@Looneeclip 4 года назад

Thanks for the video, helped a lot. A couple place I had issues to assist others on my 07 CRV. The bottom bolt holding the alt closet to the center of the engine had an AC pipe making it difficult to get a socket/ratchet on. I gave the pipe a little nudge which gave me just enough room to break the torque from below. Also, I could not get the alt out despite numerous attempts due to clearance. I need a 2nd person to pull forward on the tensioner bolt which in-turn pushed it back to the firewall and gave me enough room to remove the alt. Will need to do the same to install the new one. Had to get the steering pump right out of the way to get at the tensioner again. Cheers!

@frenchtoast4630 2 года назад

Hey would you happen to know what this problem is in my Honda?? I’ll be driving normally then when I press the break and turn to the right and press the gas it doesn’t want to go like the gas peddle isn’t registering to the car to go almost like the car is shutting off but everything’s still on and normal just no gas. It’s only when I turn-press the break-then gas peddle and it slows down eventually when I press the gas peddle harder it will pick up and go. 😭

@Looneeclip 2 года назад

@@frenchtoast4630 I haven't had that issue. The gas peddle is electronic (no cable), so could be an issue there or the throttle body needs calibration (can be done thru OBD2 connector under dash). If it only happens when turning, could be something with fuel pump. Does it happen only near empty or not matter?

@frenchtoast4630 2 года назад

@@Looneeclip I had half a tank so I don’t think it has to do with that, you might be right on the fuel pump tho. Is it real hard to repair that I’m trying to figure it out 😣

@dougwachs Месяц назад

I do appreciate you video with all the helpful information - alas, us mere mortals don't have all the cool specialty tools you used for this repair... after hours of attempting it this way, I gave up and took out the radiator/fan assembly and front crossbar - only then did I have enough access to get this cursed thing out with regular shallow and deep well sockets. I still had to buy specialty tools for the tensioner and crossbar and other bolts - I bought a set of 12pt swiverl headed wratcheting wrenches (which stripped off one of the alternator bolt heads), thus necessitating pulling the radiator... if you do this all day long, my hat's off to you. I have done hundreds of repairs as a shade-tree mechanic and this is the second worst I think... but memory fades. Thanks again for your immense help!

@John-eo7mu 2 месяца назад

Great video. Just did this on a friend’s CRV. I didn’t remove the tire. Just turned the wheel all the way right. I also removed the cooling fan so I could see the two lower bolts on the alternator and actually get a socket wrench on them. Clockwise to get tension off the belt. I used the old box end slipped over the open end wrench trick to extend the wrench and pull on the tensioner. Great video though. I’m no expert. Helped a ton.

@dhumps 2 года назад

Thanks for the great video. The belt and bolt diagrams was a big help. I'm pretty good working on my own cars once I have an idea of what to do. People like you save me tons of time trying to figure out the best route to do a part change.

@wethepeople8060 5 лет назад

Thanks Dude! Helped a LOT! Got the alternator in without much trouble but sadly though I didn't have the proper wrenches and striped the nut on the tensioner... Had to order a new one and ordered a long wrench like you used. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

@Ken-1 2 года назад

If you have power tools, this job is made 10x easier by jacking up the engine slightly and removing that motor mount blocking the tensioner. Provides plenty space. Just keep track of the bolts well, that motor mount is certainly a contraption. Might be a good time to replace it and the Tensioner as well

@24framedavinci39 3 года назад

The tensioner is the biggest nightmare. There just isn't enough room to get a rachet in there and the bolt on mine is too recessed to use a ratcheting boxed wrench. This is an exercise of patience. I've been at it for hours and still have been unsuccessful.

@24framedavinci39 3 года назад

Ok, I ended up cutting the handle of the serpentine tool I got from AutoZone so I can get more travel. Once I did that, I had no problems getting the belt on. On the other hand, the alternator that AZ had was also no good. Car died mid-drive on the damn freeway. I used the link from Amazon to get the OEM Denso alternator. It was significantly more expensive, but the dealer wants $130 more for the EXACT same one, refurb and all. Also, the dealer couldn't get it to me any faster as they have to order it too. FML..... At least it should only take a couple of hours this time.

@justinwnichols03 8 месяцев назад

Definitely need a ratcheting wrench for the bottom 2 alternator bolts...everything else was going smooth until that point. Had to hit up Harbor Frieght for a good 5set for $30 (btw $21 at HD for just the 12mm) ...will update tomorrow as daylight and Temps have reached a decline for the day....

I think removing the upper motor mount is much easier without having to remove the tire and under splash shields - Can be done with a small jack under the engine. Doing this gives you more clearance to remove the alternator out the top

@trevorsyversen9956 Год назад

There are several Gen 3 alternator replacement videos on youtube. They all don't show in real time the removal of the two lower bottom bolts on the alternator. Why? Because they are a b-iatch to remove. I'm not a mechanic or an expert but I've done three of these using different strategies. IMHO If I was to do another I would just remove the front bulkhead and A/C Condenser fan to get easier access to the two lower bolts. The 10-15 mins extra minutes to do this is worth it to not have to deal with the blind and very very tight access lower bolt removal. Only thing to worry about are the fan bolts which on Northern vehicles can be rusted out and could break the plastic fan shroud on removal. Still even if you don't remove the fan the increased radiator/fan flex you get with the bulkhead removed is worth it. Just my $0.02.
