Y’all made this look made easy and I totally messed up attempting. Calling a mobile mechanic now. Lol. Appreciate the video still.

The wire attached to the bracket on the alternator is the wire that goes to the Camshaft position sensor you should be extra cautious around that cable or you will create a crank no start situation due to no spark..ask me how I know...

It was only when I went to take the alternator out of the engine bay that I realized I had to remove the radiator fan. Can you make a note so others can factor in that additional time? Thanks! Awesome video and super useful!

It would be nice if I could see what you were working on. Any closer we would be in the quantum realm.

Very straight forward and clear with detail
Greatly appreciated

I need to put a new alternator plug on a 2012 Toyota Camry but the colors don't match

[davidgulley]

the video showed the top radiator bracket removed but not mentioned in the removal process, does that require draining the radiator and removal of attached air filter housing???

2012 SE 4cyl 180, 000 miles. No other problems. Thanks for the help.

This video doesn’t mention anything about removing the cooling fans or the overflow reservoir so if you are doing this job make sure to account for that time as well…

So many vids try to create the illusion that they know the secret simple way to do things. This video doesnt sugarcoat any of it and perfectly explains all the difficult parts of this process to make you truly prepared to remove your alternator. Excellent video TRQ !!

[brad]

Awesome job !! This had me really worried to try this and it was easy thanks to this video

[chrishaynes]

Thank you very helpful. I appreciate your help

[hxljxzo]

But you missed soo many parts of the video

[alhassansaadi]

What’s the sensor at the bottom of the bracket

[kellyallen]

Same instructions for a 13 Avalon? 3.5L

OK THIS VIDEO IS MISSING THE PREP WORK OF PULLING THE FANS AND LOOSENING THE RADIATOR
I CONSIDER THAT VERY VERY DECEPTIVE. Most people won't DIY if they know the amount of work this involves so you just left out about an hour's worth.

[wg]

YEAH NO MENTION of the prep work of loosening up the radiator and fans or removing them WHICH IS A BIG DEAL.
and no mention in title that this is a 3.5L Get it together TRQ - ALWAYS let people know the displacement. Not an honest video or overview.
