Yea did this job twice on our ford escape. This alternator has been replaced before because there’s a plastic cover over the back of the alternator to pull air from a “cleaner” location. Have to remove that to get the alternator out of its hole. Happy thanksgiving to you and your family. Thanks for sharing!

Everything is a pain in the a$$ now to remove. I remember the alternator being in the top right side of car. 2 bolts, a pivot point and a slider adjuster bolt. 5 minutes to swap out. The good old days 😅 nice work Will. 👍

[jamesbruno]

Never did one of those thanks for taking us along Will & Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours!

[kevinmartin]

Really like your method to remove the brake pipe clip @ 2.34 😎

Great job Will and wishing you and your family a happy Thanksgiving!

Nice video. You need to remove the alternator bracket as well (3 10mm bolts) to have room to replace the alternator

Thanks for your video. It helped greatly

Oh yeah those are fun. Remember to start it up and make sure it charges properly before putting the car back together again...ask me how I figured out that tip xD

[davidvasko]

Gotta love engineers! It was much easier back in the day!!

mazda tribute is the same way, but has more plastic kind a vent covering the whole alternator 👍🏼

And I thought that replacing the alternator on a 2007 GMC Acadia 3.6L AWD was a bear. This one takes the cake. Whatever happened to the days when you changed out an alternator in 30 minutes taking your time?

Nice work Will Happy thanksgiving 1 question what’s the way u straighten pins in a connector? I’m trying to straighten pins in a 16 pin connector when tailgate was removed to install a salt spreader then owners workers tried to install tailgate after spreader not needed Is there a tool u use? CHEERS

I took an alternator out and put back in on a Mazda Tribute, it was basically the same SUV as that. It was hell, all because I refused to remove the half shaft.

[tobysmith]

Great video! I had to pop the motor mount 18mm bolt and lift engine an inch to get the alternator out. 04 Escape

There was a time you could replace an alternator with a wrench in your driveway. Now it’s a thousand dollar job at the dealer. Stuff like this is why some people drive their cars to destruction because they can’t afford to fix them.
