As someone who is always very nervous about messing something up while working on a car, I feel confident just from this video that I would be able to do it without fear of breaking everything. Very detailed, clear instructions.
This is an excellent video. This gentleman knows what he's doing and explains it well. This project is doable but there isn't much room to work in that engine compartment. Wear mechanic's gloves or you'll have nicks and scrapes all over your hands. If everything goes right (i.e., no stuck nuts/bolts), this guy has the process slimmed down to the minimum number of steps. Two thumbs up! Update: I bought a rebuilt alternator and it failed after 2 months. So, I'm doing this for the 2nd time. It's much easier since the nut/bolts aren't rusted into place.
Just had the alternator die (some smoke and no charge output) on our i35 2003. This video was very useful in doing the replacement. Saved 2nd guessing what does or doesn't need to be removed. The video is one of the better ones I've seen. Has the info you need and great camera angles. No stupid music etc.

Great instructional video with excellent camera work. I followed all steps and replaced the alternator on my 2003 Maxima. This video saved me hundreds of $$$. Thanks!
Thanks for making this video. This is the last thing I need to do before selling mine. All Nissans from the 90's and beyond are truly a pain in the A$$ to work on. Even the KA24-DE on my hardbody Nissan truck was a chore just to change the oil, Never mind changing Knock Sensors on an Infiniti VH-41DE. I uploaded the only youtube video on that.
@@mcmobius1 i have a 02 max..my alternator just went..being its almost winter i wish the ac compressor pulley wasnt needed..i would just leave it out during the winter...😏
You will have to drain it out. Then refill and bleed it when done. That means more money on coolant and if it isn’t bled properly that will lead to overheating potentially. Just do it the way Nissan intended it to be done via the bottom like I have shown here.
Great video man. Loved how you took the time to show this step by step, including pointing out the locations in regards to the camera instead of putting your hand in the way trying to show a location on itself.
straight to the point and very well detailed. Did have a problem with the last bolt and had to cut off the nut to get the bolt off, but other than that very good video.
Doing may alternator myself I have a stripped bolt from the previous person who replaced the one I'm replacing car was given to me it's on the compressor thankfully the one I can see the shaft what you recommend I do
Thanks for posting this. Anyone doing this job should know that most parts-store brand alternators are made of Chinesium - they’re garbage. Spend the money on a reputable NEW unit, or you’ll be doing this job again next year!
@@HelpingHandAutoRepair what is the group size for the battery? I'm about to buy a 2003 infiniti i35 off of letgo because my mazda 3's motor went out. It needs new terminals and battery
Nate Harlan The group size is just what family size car batteries fall into. If you call any parts store they can tell you the group size you will need.
Just to be clear to everyone the 3.0 (vq30de) was the motor in the 90s and into 2000-2002 and the 3.5 (vq35de) came in 2003 some 2002 models have it as well was an option around that year to upgrade same thing with the Infiniti i30’s witch is what I own
Hey thanks for the video. I have a 2001 Nissan maxima that I'm getting ready to replace alternator tomorrow. I've never replaced an alternator before. I work at a full service jiffy lube and I'll be doing the work at my shop. The car has excessive under body rust. The rust is making me dread taking so many bolts unloose with a high chance of being stripped. Also having to keep up with all of the bolts and remembering which bolt goes where could be a chore. I'm thinking about going the radiator route seeing that I can use shop fluids. Going the radiator route seems to have a less chance of stripping bolts or having to cut bolts loose. The pro is I work at a jiffylube the con is I have to do the work myself. What are the cons of going the radiator route outside of needing to replace coolant ?
Michael Silva Not sure the exact part number. Just go to the parts store and ask them to get you the alternator and they will have the correct one for you.
I did this but I hook up the charging wire after the job was done I tried to jump it and heavy spark came from the battery area it was hopped up correctly what could be the issue causing it to spark?
I like watching people working on cars and I would like to work on cars but I really don’t know much, and when I try new stuff and mess up I get so frustrated I just want to scream
That’s all apart of the learning process. I have ZERO formal training for car repairs. I simply learned by doing and learning from my mistakes. Here I am 16ish years later with far more knowledge than before. You can do it! At least there are plenty of avenues for information such as YT, google, forums etc... when I started there wasn’t any of that. You’re more than welcome to ask me here and I will do my best to help you out.
Wish I could help you bro. I’m not present. Maybe something is not bolted up right or try keeping the other bolt slightly loose so that you can line the other alternator bolt up.
Yeah I ran into a problem on the last nut to get off the alternator I stripped it and I bought the sockets to remove a stripped bolt and I broke that 😂😂😂 how would go about cutting off the nut trying not to get the bold but I don’t mind
Papi illest Use these stripped nut removal sockets. These and the snap on set are designed VERY well. m.sears.com/craftsman-10-pc-damaged-bolt-nut-remover-set-low/p-00952166000P?gclsrc=aw.ds&sid=SLIAx01191011x000001x1979005199&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx_DTmt6b5AIVmP5kCh0WhgH-EAQYAyABEgJRtvD_BwE
Helping Hand Auto Repair yeah I finally got that pos out omg man I hate this car now I found a different set bc they don’t have those In stock the sucker came right off gonna get my alternator rebuilt then hopefully drive this sucker again sheesh
@@HelpingHandAutoRepair done! I went from the top actually. Took out the radiator fans. Pain getting to the bolt on the bottom of the alternator, but some how managed. Works great!
Owen Parseghian yea the 6th gen maximas you can remove the fans and radiator it’s a little easier. These ones I’ve always found removing them from the bottom is faster for me at least. Either way the design isn’t very good but that’s FWD V6 layout problems. At least it isn’t a Jetta. You have to remove the entire front bumper and radiator support just to replace the alternator 🤦🏽♂️
I also had to go at this from the top, removing the fans and the radiator, as the top right bolt on my AC Compressor is rounded, and wouldn't break no matter what I tried. 6-point socket, knurl grip socket, bolt extractor socket, all of these were tried after hitting it with PB Blaster overnight, wouldn't break. Going at it from the top makes the bottom alternator bolt a real pain to access, mostly when reinstalling but I managed. It helped, very slightly, removing the metal guard in front of the intake manifold. All in all though, not an easy job and very annoying design but if you have patience, it could save you $300
A good amount to make it easier to get on. But sometimes that’s easier said than done. A few good whacks with a hammer should do it. Be careful you don’t crack the alternator body.
My battery fuse on the positive side blew after I replaced it. Question- what is the black plastic spacer ring thing called and its purpose on the b post? I think I over tightened it and one of the tabs broke off. My battery fuse is 120A. I thought I got all 4 wires back correctly. Anything else I should check?
When you replaced the alternator, you didn’t touch any wiring right? Just disconnected it and then reconnected it when you were done? If so then there shouldn’t be any wiring issues there. The battery post connector could be getting shorted out somewhere near the battery or somewhere at that fuse. 24110-2Y000 that is the part number for a new positive battery cable. 24340-7F000 this is a new battery terminal.
My apologies, first off, thanks so much for the tutorial! It saved me so much time. I figured it out: there’s a black circular insulator that attaches to the b post.

Anyone still on here? I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima SE, replaced the battery and the alternator. Once done, battery light and tire pressure light flickers on and off, doesn’t stay fully on but does flicker on and off? Any help
@@HelpingHandAutoRepair Soon after all that I went for another drive and noticed my serpentine belt squealed, so I went back under and re adjusted the tensioner pulley. Now before I parked it for the night I went for a drive and there was no longer a squeal or lights coming on the dash. Could that have been what it was, just a loose belt and pulley?
@@Willybubba185 100% if the belt wasn’t tight enough, it was just barely driving the alternator. Now that it is tighter, it should be driving the alternator appropriately. The Tire pressure monitor could very well come back if there is in fact a low tire or a faulty tire pressure sensor.
It was a fair amount of work. However I have also done a fair amount of work over the years. This wasn’t too bad. Saved this lady a little money by not having to take it to a shop.
Lol, this is dumb logic. Jacking up a car and getting to the alternator is exactly how Nissan intended for it to be done. Lots of people have removed the radiator, drained all the coolant to do this. It can be done both ways. But to say it’s not necessary is a stretch
