Subaru Forester Alternator Replacement DIY

Subaru Forester Alternator Replacement DIY

This video shows you how to replace the alternator on a 1999 Subaru Forester. The process is quite easy and should only take about a half hour with some basic hand tools. My alternator may have had over 225,000 miles on it and I was getting some interior lighting and headlight flickering issues as well as my radio kept restarting. Since replacing the alternator, the issues have all stopped.

This video saved me 150 bucks in labor costs thank you! I recommend everyone to do this on their own. I know NOTHING about cars or how to fix them and this only took me little over an hour! No point in having your car at a shop for a day and spending the money toward the actual new alternator.

could you spray some wd-40 on the long bolt to help it come in and out or would that have adverse effects? great video, thanks!!

Miguel Sanchez says:

I am currently in the research phase as I need to work on this and replace the starter in my new 99 Forester. About to pick up the tools to get the job done. Thanks for creating this. I laughed out loud when you joked about the alternator falling into place. Thank you Sir!

You're a king! I replaced my alternator myself after getting a $750 quote from a shop. Needed this, many thanks!

Thankyou, saved me a bunch of money on my 04 Forester. Not only on taking it to the shop but the missed day of work it would have cost me also.

Thanks for the video! Was able to replace the alternator in my 2007 Forester, and this video was super helpful in guiding through the process.
