Thank you for watching my video, I appreciate the support !
Quick tip to most Civic and CRX owners. Unbolt your master cylinder, it's just 2 nuts. Slide the master cylinder to the drivers side easily. Brake lines are fairly soft on them and as long as you go slow they wont kink. Pull the alternator right out beside the brake booster. It's a 20 to 30 minute job that way. Been doing it like that for over 20 years now.
I had just installed the new master and I didn't want to both the new lines
When customers come into the Zone & ask what I think if they should get a new or remanufactured alternator/starter I always tell them if it's in a tight hard to get at spot then go with a new one. If it's easy to get at or if they plan on selling it soon then go with the remanufactured.
That sounds about right to me.when someone is paying me to do a difficult job i tell them to not cheap out on the part. Because if it fails very soon you'll be paying for this job twice
You're the man Jonathan. I cant wait to see you pull that D series out.
"Slob job"
"Two hand job"
"It feels pretty hard"
Omg, you had me laughing! 😂😂😉😊
😝😂
Theres a wide open space underneath. I took off bracket and dropped the alternator. Good work though!
When i looked under it it seemed like there was no space.maybe i missed something lol
I had an '89 Accord years ago that had an alternator that crapped out on me. I saw how involved it was and said, "nope - your ass is going to Pep Boys". I generally prefer to work on my own vehicles but you have to know when to throw in the towel lol.
The easiest way I found out to do it was remove the brake master cylinder and pull it to the side and alternator come out from that area. I did it twice on a sedan and hatch pretty easy
I thought of that but i didnt feel like disconnecting the brake lines .even without moving the lines i didnt want to take a chance of kinking the lines. thanks for the tip 👍
Never know till you try but its understandable I wasn't about to remove axle to replace the alternator. It was my last resort and it worked out good and the lines didnt kink just have to be careful. Good job with channel bro always have good content
Next time maybe ill try removing the master. Thank you , i appreciate it
This is how I do it too
glad i found your channel.. awesome crx content
Thank you. I appreciate you watching
Doing it out the bottom is super easy. You usually just need to pry the motor a little bit.
I was such in a lazy mood that i didnt even want to lift up the car with the floor jack lol
@@themechanic6117 I can understand that 100% I put the topper on my truck yesterday by myself and dont feel like doing anything.
Once it starts to get cold out i dont want to work on cars.i just want to hibernate 😂
Bob's your auntie 🤣🤣
Great job Jonathan! I think I'd have taken the same route lol I don't like working from underneath 🙈👍
Yeah it didn't seem like the worst job to do. Im happy with how it turned out
U just have to unbolt the master cylinder and move it to the side with the line connected and the alternator comes up
Someone else mentioned thatll work. Keep it mind i have a integra brake booster so its much bigger than the crx booster. Dont know it that would effect pulling it from there
Damn you got a toll for everything
Toll ?ohhh I think you mean tool lol 👍
That was a tight fit 😬
Oh yeah but at least I didn't have to pull the axle lol
I used to laugh, to see guys use a manual impact driver (Lisle 29200) when they have air tools and power tools. Are those guys luddites? Then I used one a few times for those pesky rotor retention screws. Wow, way easier than a screwdriver and way less likely to strip threads out compared to power tools.
Manual impact screwdriver is a lifesaver but my go to now is the air hammer with a attachment for removing rotor screws 👍
@@themechanic6117 You mean a pointed air hammer tip, or something more specialized?

Myfriend how do you feel about auto zone parts meaning there brakes pads and etc i don't go there i go to advance auto thank you for your videos awesome job like always
Ive used a ton of duralast parts from autozone. They're decent stuff for the price. Dont buy valuecraft from autozone lol
Okay myfriend thank you have great long weekend buddy
Hey! LOVE your channel! I just bought an 88 crx that i’m going to start restoring. just curious if you have any recommendations for where to get door panel, trim and number clips. I’m also wondering where to get rubber trim and seals for the doors and windows and sun roof
Thank you and welcome to the channel. With crx's its always a ton of searching on ebay and crx community on fb for parts
How is that alternator tensioned?
Is it a threaded rod/captive bolt, automatic, or just pull & tighten?
dang all that work for that alternator removal? i just removed it from below, it barely fit but it fit without the need to remove my axle too.
Well ive never done this before and i found limited videos on it so i tried what seemed like the easiest method.im not saying what i did was the easiest way
@@themechanic6117 sorry did not mean to come off saying that is a negative way. no matter how you done it, it is a win for you to not pay a mechanic for this work. Plus we all benefit knowing your steps to have this replaced this way. I did not know about that special tool to remove the stud until you shown me here. continue the good job in showing your work to us here. thanks!!
No offense taken. I appreciate the comments. Hopefully no more parts will need to go into this engine and i can just slap my k24 in it
What!? Who put that on other side of engine?
Exactly lol
Is this where that K is gonna go?
Yes. I changed the alt because i still need to be able to move the car around. Yeah i wasnt happy about putting a alternator on a engine im going to eventually pull out
@@themechanic6117 I can't wait to see it happen. I saw all the effort and $$$ put into that engine
I cant wait either . years and ton of money in it.cant wait to hear it run
Easier from the bottom 🤷♂️
😆
Maybe...this is my first time doing a job like this.
Umm, I still say yowzers 🤷
😂👍
