Today I’m replacing the alternator brushes on a Lexus gx470 as routine maintenance. The car has 262k miles, and the brushes typically wear out around 3-350k
OEM new units are 5-700$, auto parts stores have them for 225$ ish.
Let me tell you, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR…..
Instead of using a inferior quality part, I recommend servicing your failing unit. 98% of the time alternator failure is the Brushes being worn out
What are brushes? Beats me! But I know how to change them!!!
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS CAREFULLY!
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN INCORRECT PARTS!

You should ALWAYS remove the NEGATIVE battery terminal. Not the positive.
Damn… engineers and mechanics need to fuckin hang out more. Thats insane accessing it compared to other cars that have it sitting right on top the engine.. whatever. Nice vid. Really clear on EACH step. Most vids suck ass and skip a step or don’t actually show what bolt/nut… or do the process unnecessarily… work smarter not harder!! Nice vid!!
Man the video quality is insanely good bro, content at its finest! Well played sir
