For those of you that have asked how they can tip me. You can now click the “super thanks” button and add a tip. Grateful for all my viewers and subscribers! This channel would be nothing without you!
10mm wrench tip for popping the wire harness clips is great … Sometimes a little circular motion was needed … Couldn't get the wrench in for the L-Bracket clip, 10mm socket on a 3" extension, like butter … Thanks
Any torque values?
Ditto that this is a well done instructional and time saver … A suggestion on removal of the first bolt (under the tension pulley) … Wait until the radiator is loose, and approach it from above … I could not get leverage to loosen from below (2011 / 155K) and after an hour of effort (and before rounding off the head) , moved on … From above, and approaching front-to-back, could keep the bar perpendicular to the bolt and get some ass behind it … Heading back out to finish the job …
Great Job! Same procedure as Lexus workshop.
I call bullshit on the 10mm wrench trick. And the “just remove the connectors” from the fan is also bs.
God Damn…that's a lot of work. Would've been easier to drop the enging.
Today was the second time I installed one of these and thanks to this video is was relatively easy. Very well done and superb editing. Both times it was next to impossible to get that clip off the l bracket. It has to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen the Toyota do. Anyways thanks for your help!
Can be removed without removing grill and loosening radiator
GREAT Video, bright, Quick. Most YouTube videos are garbage, uneducated idiot with a cell. Minutes of wasted time with no Facts.
Great Job & keep up the excellent work!
Great video, very helpful. On the last step of removing the alternator, regarding the wires clipped into the L bracket, where do those wires go? I got a little carried away and ripped them out accidentally, so I'm trying to figure out what they go to.
You can remove the alternator without removing grill, radiator support, and if your patient and easy going you can do it without damaging the radiator
Thanks for the video. Super through. I broke down after a charging light, didn’t make it home. Was thinking about fixing it in the side of the road but after watching the video and the number of pieces that need to come off I’m gonna have it towed home and fix it there.
Thank you so much for this video! God bless you. The tips and tricks worked perfectly thank you so much once again !
Flawless victory for me! Thank you for the video!
Great video
How many miles on the Lexus
Holy shit you had to take the whole front end apart just to change an alternator LOL
My 2010 lexus rx350 have reach 200,000 miles I haven’t change my alternator yet how long did your alternator last mileage repair on this car you work on ?
The 10mm trick worked great, Very detailed video and the piece of cardboard saved my radiator. Yes leave the radiator loose before installing the cooling fan’s,thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
