Hi Clay good video ! Just did my first one and thought I would share some of my thoughts take them for what they are free.
1. Remove upper radiator hose. It's worth the 30 seconds.
2. Remove the passenger tire and wheel well. Allows access to bottom bolt with impact and wobble socket.
3. Remove top nut from stud and bottom bolt BEFORE removing the serpentine belt. The bottom bolt will come out this way.
4. Remove serpentine belt
5. Tappy tap tap the alternator towards the passenger side with a plastic dead blow hammer until free about 8 medium hits.
6. I found no reason to take out the top stud which aided greatly in reassembly.
7. Also for us 200lbs gorillas I put a pizza box lid on the radiator for protection.
Hope this helps someone it's really an easy job with these few hints added to this video . PS. No need to take off an a/c lines or anti freeze over flow jugs.
My husband paid $1400.00 to fix our 2008 Ford Edge for a water pump the Shade Tree Mechanic told my husband he had done 4 prior to ours but it took him forever to get it done and my husband has taken it back to him 3x since and now the alternator is acting up truck shut down on me in the middle of the interstate going 75mph thank God I was able to cross over 3 lanes of heavy traffic of semi’s and was stuck waiting on the side of the highway in 92 degree weather for over 5hrs for a tow the tow guy and deputy was so sweet they came to Mr.Clay channel and that’s how I knew it was the alternator thank goodness my husband has a warranty I said all this to say THANK YOU MR.CLAY for helping us out here in Me:Valdosta,Ga
Deputy:Adel,Ga (Cook County)
Tow guy:Albany,Ga keep up the good work
Al I can say is thanks so much for your help .it is sat night at 10:30 when my alternator light goes on and I need to work Sunday night. So watched your vid and had it out in about one hour. Going to wake up early and reinstall a new one. Saved me a hole shit load of time . Thanks again. Keep up the great work
Great video thanks
What the hell are wrong with engineers? This is obserd to just R&R an alternator. Goodness gracious.
I found a video very helpful but changing the alternator and my 07 Ford Edge is little bit beyond me I'll probably have to take it to a mechanic to get it done love video though Ray
I enjoyed your video but changing this alternator in my 07 Ford Edge it's still little beyond me so I'll probably have to get a mechanic to do so thank you again video very helpful
Just did this job in an o'reilly's parking lot, no need to let the frion or the coolant out. You can fanangle the alternator out/in without all the extra work, definitely recommend removing the electric fans to give yourself the extra room. Thanks for the video nonetheless, helped point me in the right direction and get my wife and kids off the road and to the hotel for the night!
How different is this from doing one on a 2014 Ford Edge Sport V6 3.7L
Awesome. Love your attitude.
So do you absolutely need to take off the tension pulley
Hey clay what size wrench did you use to remove pulley bolts
Y en español
Dang what a job!
