What tool is he using 4.35?
amazing job
What in the actual fuk ima sell mine
Nice work … please do you know the belt size for cobalt 2009
I can't get my motor mounts off, any suggestions?
WOW thanks! I can't do this repair by myself, but this video really helps me to better understand where everything is, and the work and time it takes for a service tech to change my G5 alternator.
Hello, friend, I have a problem with a car like this. I buy it without Secondary Air Injection Check Valve and I already buy it. But when I installing a metal hose, I don't know where it is placed or if it shouldn't be screwed somewhere, I hope your help is not good in English
I need to do this to my car. It looks intimidating, but seeing the video definitely helps guide me. Thank you!!
That’s for this, after looking at it, it definitely confirmed this is too much for me to handle lol
Great video for this gnarly hidden alternator. Adding torque specs would be really helpful.
My ground cable was loose all the way off. Can I connect to anywhere that's metal?
How long did it take to put the alternator in
Isn't the 2009 the same?
If you get the screws out the alternator will move itself out of the belt. Putting it back is tough but with 2 people it’s can be done.
That was a really long and unnecessary way to do that. You don’t have to remove the engine mount or coolant and you don’t need a serpentine belt tool. You just need a 3/8 or 1/2 ratchet to get the belt off depending on the tensioner design
I have a question if you don’t mind…My dads cobalt was diagnosed with a bad alternator, I followed your video replacing the alternator but the battery light is still on and the volts are a little above 12. A local mechanic says its the alternator fuse but this car doesn’t seem to have one, any idea as to what it could be?
Wow will you reply to this one?
Good video.
It need to be re edited.
You forgot to show how to connect ground cable.
Please don't forget to bleed the coolant
