This is how to replace a bad alternator in a Kia Rio, Soul, or Hyundai Accent. This also shows how to remove and install a serpentine belt using a serpentine belt diagram. A bad alternator can cause the car’s electrical system malfunction, the car to shake, or not start at all because it can’t charge the battery. In this Kia, the bad alternator was causing a metal scraping noise. The alternator is attached with a belt tensioner, a few electrical plugs, and a bolt at the bolt at the bottom.

Did anyone have problems pulling the alternator out after removing all the bolts??
Too easy I may have to do it myself
This is a great tutorial video. Thank you for sharing. Tips: I was working on my 2012 Hyundai accent and the only way to remove the alternator after remove all bolts is using a big screw driver and place it underneath the alternator and slowly pry it up ( I was rocking the alternator back and forth and upward for 15 minutes with no help)
My car symptom: Battery light in the dashboard randomly flickering.
This works for Hyundai velosters too! Just replaced my altenator using this tutorial with no mechanical experience. It took 4-5 hours for a me but got it done
im waiting for some bolt torque????
Probably the best video out for this application. Minor edit: step 1, disconnect the battery.
awesome cake!!!!!!
Great video. Simple, straight forward instructions. Very helpful. Thanks!
Saved to a playlist. Videos like these are a god send when you can't directly see how things are put together.
I hope this video helps you replace your bad alternator!
