What a fantastic instructional video. On behalf of my daughter (the owner of the 2007 Kia Rio), I thank you for this excellent video!
This is the best video, clear in details to replace the alternator. Thank for your effort.
How many wires should be in the wire harness? My alternator provides kess than 12 v and i found only a black wire in the harness. Shouldnt there be two?
Could you plz make a video and replacing both power steering lines. I have a 2008 hyundai accent and used this video to replace the alternator on it. My first time as well. Your video was very laid out and step by step I know i could do it myself if you made one!!!!! TY!!!!
Appreciate the video. I just started to replace my alternator and this helped a bunch.
would this work on a getz too?
What tools will I all do to be taken this out and back in the alternator does anyone know all the tools I will need?
Thanks your video help me to do it in just 2 hours .. Save some money.. Nice job bro… Thanks again…
That was a great vid dude….
Helped me change my alternator on a 2007 Kia Rio!
Nice video, thank you. It helped me out replacing my 2011 Kia Rio.
I'm indebted to this video (and the comments) for making the alternator replacement an almost pain-free experience. Such a crystal-clear description of the steps, as good as any car video I've ever seen, and that's counting ChrisFix.
A few tips that may help others:
1) No need to drain the oil. A few ounces of oil will leak out when you remove the filter, but that's it.
2) No need to cut the wire harness clip at the bottom. Just insert a small flat-head screwdriver and slowly pry until it pops out.
3) Make sure you hit that lower bracket with copious amounts of PBlaster. It can be really stuck but once the oil soaks in you can start rocking the alternator back and forth and it will steadily loosen up so you can lift it up and off the bracket. That's the key part of the whole job.
4) Other than that little wrinkle, it's as easy as presented here.
5) I replaced the old one (the bearing seized) with a TYC 2-11011 alternator which was an exact fit.
Thanks again!
Seems the same as Elantra 2007-2010. This is so far the best video I've found.
i have a 1992 hyundai excel and it has a two prong connector but it cracked and i have the two wires fell out of it and i dont know where they go on the alternator itself..where do they go on the alternator connector which color goes where? one is a thicker and white and blue and one wire is thinner and white
Huge thanks Josh!! Thanks for taking the time to film it and share it with us. The video helped me immensely to change the alternator for my daughter's car. So thanks!! Like others have said, I bypassed the oil drain, went with just removing the filter and worked out good. .
great video, exactly what i needed, keep up the great work. just wondering, can you get the alternator from the wheel well (with wheel well panel removed?) thanks
