I must admit, this isn’t my best shot video. I should have chosen different camera angles so you could better see the bolts, however, this video still gives you a good idea of what you would need to do to replace an alternator on this vehicle.

I just did the same job two days ago without removing any brackets or hoses.
not only my alternator went out but the wiring blow with it. I got a new alternator but none of the electrical wiring where do I get those?
Thanks for the video +50skid! Saved me a bunch of $$ for sure. There was some collateral damage – broke the coolant temperature switch terminal since it is part of the same harness. How tight should the belt be? Is there a torque spec for it or some other method for checking?
my alternator starts at around 13.8 then slowly starts going down 13.7 , 13.6 etc with the radio and everything off . its a new alternator but I don't think its working the way it should never goes up to 14.5 . do you think I need a new one or any other things I could check ?
if I take the radiator hose off can I just reservice it?
Slide the resivoir out. Alt will come right out.
removing the engine mount is optional it's alot easier to remove the coolant res it slipped out for me no prob and i had tons of room to get the bottom bolt out
love you viedos. i have an alternator question i have a 2012 nissan altima 2.5s engine 2.5l i have a 110 amp alternator but i need a more powerful one would you know where i can get one from that will fit this car. hope you can help me or give me some advice thanks. name jay e mail: NISSANM69@AOL.COM
Very helpful, thank you!
I think in the end it would have been easier to just remove the radiator hose and reservice it…lol
I did notice though you're missing a couple valve cover bolts. 🙂
Wow that engine is clean for its age. Nice video.
