In this video I show how to replace the alternator, which bad due to the customer not having the splash guard on under the vehicle. The alternator came in contact with water and also cracked.
*customer replaced battery on their own*

I am switching out my alternator right now and everything is off except for this stubborn 14mm bolt. I moved the fans and even tried using an electric screwdriver but still nothing! Bolt must be worn out but the sockets are staying in place but not going anywhere. PLEASE HELP!
This won't work you have to go under the car and drop the swaybar loosen the fan shroud to get the top altinator bolt out and reach behind the altinator to remove power cable and connector and a bracket that holds the wires it's not to bad if you've done it before but will takes hours if you don't know what to do
Thank you for sharing this video, great job, I may have to replace, an alternator on one today'(
the wires came out of the plug do you know the order of the wires for a pigtail replacement plug? thanks
How u get the alternator plug out
This guy is a liar. Someone commented on the video being weak and i reacted strongly against that person.
First things first,
The 14mm idler pulley bolts does not loosen the belt
There are 2 bolts under which controls the tension on both belts (alternator and AC) so one must loosen the alternator bolt (not the ider pulley).
Very deceptive attempt to get some views and validation by posting lies.
#2 – there is no way to remove both alternator bolts holding the positive and negative bolts from the top. Noooo way. The only thing one may do from the top is remove the bolts holding the alternator and the bracket which not the hardest part.
One must reach from underneath to remove the negative battery bolt hence cable & even after that, there is another bracket in a tight corner holding on to the alternator with 2 strong hard plastic gromet or rivet & 3 x 7mm bolts. Removing the bolts to drop the alternator is not too hard but if you wanna do things by the book and install the new alternator with this bracket there is gonna be a lot of F words under the vehicle.
I completed this job last month. Had to put the car on ramps to work from underneath. Took me almost 4hrs under cursing at this guy lies. Yes he lied and he knows it.
i’m replacing an alternator for someone on a 2006 m35 and after i got done the belt squeals? and when i went to take the tensioner off i had to loosen the bottom screw too, could that be why
Is this made like an 06 same model
Weak ass video
Help please. Is there a bolt behind the alternator or a bracket to keep it from sliding out ? I removed the one of the bolt , bottom n grinded the top right bolt that didn't want to catch. It still won't come move forward ,it just wiggles
Bro I need help ASAP!!!
Did you have to move the fan out of the way to get the top bolt out? I was going to remove it from the bottom, but it looks like you were able to do it fairly easy from the top. My G35X has been sitting for 2 months. I gave it a jump but the brake and battery light kept staying on. Theyd go away once I accelerated though. But as soon as I turned it off I couldnt start it. It'd just start clicking, which is the battery. I dont have a voltmeter though. I was going to throw my roommates battery that I know is good in it. See if the same problem persist. If the brake and battery light is still on, then its definitely the alternator.
I figured that It'd be a bitch like the starter was. Well I just had to wrestle with it, because I wasnt removing the damn cv axel like some ppl do. I managed to fit it through like a puzzle trying to do it but got the job done. Atleast the alternator looks like itll be easier to some degree. Appreciate your video, it was simple and straight to the point. I watched other videos where they were doing a bunch of unnecessary extra bullshit. Im trying to get this shit out as quick and easy as possible. Hell yeah, Im going to try hitting it from the top now. I just couldnt tell if you had to bring the fan shroud up to access that top bolt or not. Ill figure it out, was just trying to get the lay out in my head. I got it now simple job, again appreciate it.
and I think the 07 m45 has 2 thermostats
In my M35x 2007 my headlights start flashing for 5 seconds later it’s fine … then today my lights inside were getting dim till I pressed the gas a little bit and it fixed. Do you think it’s the alternator or battery ?
