    Thank you Josh, I consider myself mechanically minded and I started this project yesterday and gave up. I tried to get that long bolt but now I realize it does not need to come out, it just sits in a cradle. Now I feel confident I can do this project on my son's car, he does not have the money to pay a mechanic. Thanks once again this is an amazing video, and you are the talented man for sure. ☘️

    Thank you, thank you and than you. I just spent about 45 minutes looking online all over the place and just found your video. I'm changing the CV axles on a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe and everything was going fine except for getting the new one in place. The plastic splash guard was in the way. I couldn't figure out how to remove it and was considering cutting it. Then I found your video and went back put to the garage to see if the bolts were in the same place and they were. Just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate you taking the time to make the video. Thanks again.

    Thanks for documenting your work to help us! My Tucson was parked for about 3 weeks while I was working on the exhaust and oil pan, and when I got those new items replaced, and tried to start her, she wouldn't! She wouldn't turn over - which is usually a sign of a dead (car) battery - but my cheap voltmeter read it had 14 volts - so I thought my (car) battery was fine - I was wrong. The little battery in my voltmeter was almost dead and it was malfunctioning and giving me a bad reading! Meanwhile, I thought my starter was bad, so I removed it - and to get it out, I had to remove the front exhaust pipe that I had just installed! I had the starter tested - and it was fine! They tested the car battery, and it was actually only at 9 or 10 volts and needed to be charged - and may be bad - that's to be seen. So now I'm charging my battery, and I watched your video in case it turns out that my alternator is bad - which I hope is not the case, as that looks like it can be quite difficult.

    Great video, good info. Here are a few things that will make your life easier. With the video info loaded in my head, took me 2 1/2 hours start to finish. Random thoughts.:
    1) Raise the passenger side vehicle up high so you can get in under the engine sub frame. Please use appropriate jack stands and put the tire under the frame. Too much safety is never wrong.
    2) Take the wheel off like the video said, but no need to remove caliper.
    3) Removing power steering line bracket is a must.
    4) Do all of these things before loosening the alternator mounting bolts and this is done from under the engine bay sub frame. That is why you need to get the vehicle up high. A rolling creeper is nice also. I used a 12 inch long slotted screw driver to take off the small wire holder for the oxygen sensor. don't pry off, you will break it. Use the blade of the screwdriver and push the tabs down and the out for oxygen wire holder, it works. Also use the screw drive to push down on the release tab for the electrical connector to remove it.
    5) Make sure to disconnect the negative battery terminal. You can then take a 12mm 12 point socket to remove the battery connection. Remove the boot and you can reach on top of the exhaust with your left hand to loosen the bolt. Once you get it loose, use you hand to spin off.
    6) Remove top mounting bolt and then loosen bottom bolt. No need to remove long bottom bolt completely. As the video says, point the pulley out towards you and pull out. As karhunt12 says, it is about 1/8 inch too small, but being that the axle boot is rubber, that is the difference make. You are just going to need to try different configurations. It a tough pull. Out was easier than back in for me. Back in, it took my 3 or 4 tries to get it, but it will go.
    7) mount the alternator completely and then you can put back all of the electrical back on the alternator just like you took them off. All from under the sub frame.
    There you go, hope it this helps. Thanks so much for this video, really helpful.

But the last time this happened, it was my Starter, so I'm going to check the Battery tonight while it's dark t see if the lights get brighter when i hit the gas pedal.... Thanks for the video.

They tried telling my battery was shot too and I knew it wasn't because it was pretty new. I'm not going to lie, this job isn't fast & easy. However, with the help of videos like mine, you CAN do it. It'll save you TONS. The vehicle I have now had the same issue but I couldn't do it myself because of the timing of things and it set me back $475

      @@rawar777joshanderson Hi Josh, yep, the mechanic who has been doing most ofm y work acted really pissed at me yesterday, I believe because he heard me talking to another guy I meant who also works on vehicles. I asked the guy who does my work what he was going to charge me, but he just said, ''I don't know, we'll wait and see.'' Now I'm afraid that he's planning on overcharging me again, like he did a couple months ago. My wife has been telling me to just wait & do it myself. I might ask him once more & if it sounds like he's giving me the run around, I believe I'll cancel the job & just do it myself this weekend. I mean Michigan sucks this time of year but so does $475. Somehow he heard that I was tired of paying to tow some of my vehicles out to where he's been working in some guys garage to fix my stuff at. Since then he's also been charging extra for the use of the garage, plus he's also been paying the guy to help him, so yeah, his prices aren't far behind what a shop would charge. Plus I just found the phone number to the guy who own the garage. I called the number & the guy not only acted like a total asshole but he also acted like he didn't know what I was talking about, & he claimed that he didn't live in that house, plus I had the wrong number, lol, it sounds like I'm about to get screwed....
      So with his prices doubling, then I have to drive him 15 miles back to get his car, it's been getting really old. Getting really old fast.... So like I said, if he can't give me a straight answer, maybe I should do this job myself. I just got off the phone with this new mechanic I met last week. He claims that he'll do it for $160. I should take him up on it. Sounds a hell of a lot better than, ''We'll see'' & better than ''$250-$350'' Thanks for replying. You helped me make up my mind on this one..

    • @E.L.RipleyAtNostromo
      @E.L.RipleyAtNostromo 4 года назад

      Me too. Appreciate the video, but for the past several hours I have tried positioning the free alternator 360 degrees with the pulley facing front, 360 degrees with the pulley facing the side, 360 degrees with the pulley facing in. I have disconnected the power steering line, removed the bracket, disconnected the hard line which I assume to be PS, and I need 1/4” more. I have a 2006 Tucson V6. The CV axle has to be removed, that’s going to be the only way to get it out.
      P.S. I stand corrected. Two things: I watched when you reinstalled the new one and oriented mine exactly the same way. I came down the axle, then back then out the front past the brake line. ALSO, I still had that little plastic tab in the alternator housing, and that was just enough to hang me up. I got that off, then sprayed the CV boot with armor all, and that helped. Thanks for saving my ass. 👍

    If you see your brake and battery light come on together, it's time to replace the alternator. For the 2006 Hyundai Tucson you definitely have to remove the right CV axle to do this job. Forget about getting the alternator out, there's no room to even get your hands in there to unhook the cables. And there's no way to get to it from beneath either. Here are some pointers:
    1) You'll need a 32mm socket to remove the axle nut
    2) Once you release the steering knuckle from the strut, you can let the hub hang there, but watch for the ABS line. Unscrew it from its bracket to ease the tension.
    3) In my case the CV axle thankfully came right out with a few tugs. If it's stuck in there, you may be tempted to use a small crowbar to pry it out from undeneath. But there's a metal bracket under the junction blocking access. It seems it's held there with two bolts, for which you'll need 9/16 socket. There's another video on youtube about a guy who pulled it out with the aid of a nylon strap.
    3) Unbolt the old alternator and lower it a bit, and then unhook the cables. Reverse this when you put in the the new alternator.
    4) After putting in the new alternator, tighten the top bolt before putting on the drive belt. Then put on the belt and tighten the bottom bolt. The belt was easier to take off than put back on.
    BTW, I bought this alternator: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007XUI1OM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. So far so good.

Regardless, I think I'm going to have to take the CV axle out just to get mine out as the frame to cv axle slot you have to pull it through on the 2006 is tighter by a 1/4" to 3.8". Just enough to make you scream, ....and I did. So now I'm debating taking the whole CV out(straight part coming out of tranny, carrier/bearing, transaxle) or just the actual trans-axle on the end.
