Dude you inspired me to do it. Once you used the pipe (Extra Power as you
say) I knew you were a good guy. Changed out my bad alternator on my 2005
Toyota Matrix. Took me about one hour. Runs like a top!
Keep up the good work on the videos. Gracias!

Thanks for your great videos. I’ve never touched anything more complicated
than a light bulb on a car but I managed to take my alternator out and put
it back in with your help :)

you dont need to loosen the 17mm bolt. use the 19mm box end and use two 5
inch small turn buckles and attach one open hook end to a front hole of the
metal around the radiator area to the left side. the 2 turnbuckles should
be hooked together. put the other hook end to the top end of the wrench and
start tightening the buckles. it takes very little effort to pull the
wrench and the belt is pretty free. safe and easy. good luck.

Thanks for trying to help. I called my mechanic and told him what’s
happening. He said there is a magnetic field when u put the alternator
close to the engine and that’s why the alternator won’t spin. U need the
engine and the belt to spin the alternator. So I put the belt on and
everything works like a dream. I had to replace it because it was making
noise.

Peter Finn says:

Ok and Thanks.

Eugene Moskovskyy says:

Also on American alternators that are made in Mexico, the pulley doesn’t
spin freely like urs does, u can spin it with ur hand, but it doesn’t spin
as free as urs does. I went back to where I bought it and asked for another
alternator and it spinned the same way. The guy at the store said it should
be like that because it’s creating a charge. But my car runs great now.

Peter Finn says:

Hi, interesting. Try again with tongs, the wheel should rotate very easy.
If tongs don’t change situation, reassemble alternator again. Look also my
other video, how to check alternator bearings. Your alternator wheel should
rotate same way. You will find my video using Google: How to check
alternator status Toyota Corolla: Bearings, Coils and Copper plates.Years
2000-2008.

Eugene Moskovskyy says:

I got a question, I put in my new alternator and my little black wheel
won’t spin on the alternator, is that fine? It did spin right before I put
the alternator in and tied the bolts.

Eugene Moskovskyy says:

No I haven’t put on the belt yet, the alternator is installed without the
belt being on, I can’t turn on the car yet. I tried spinning it with my
hand and it’s not spinning, but right before I installed it it was
spinning. Is that ok?

Peter Finn says:

Hi, have you turn on your car’s engine or is engine off. The belt is so
tight, that wheel turns only when motor is running.

Eugene Moskovskyy says:

Thank you so much for this video. It helped me with my corolla. God bless
you. Have a great day.

Peter Finn says:

Thank You. You are Welcome.

Zac Mitton says:

love it. way to go. you are foreign, don’t have perfect english, and speek
with an accent, but this is still an incredibly thorough tutorial. I cant
believe how easy you just made that look. thank you sir for saving me 300$.
no joke. Im going to pick one of these up at a junkyard and install it for
31$ instead of 150$ for the part plus 150$ labor. the still close up shots
are great, and you sir are a natural teacher. keep it up!

mechanic.
