I just changed mine, and I must say that your video is probably the best when it comes to replacing the alternator for the 2.5 L Nissan Altima post 2006. I wish I had actually followed your instructions because it would have made my life easier-it took a while to remove the bottom bolt. I do however wish you had shown you putting the belt back in place.
I'm gonna replicate your method on my 2015 nissan xtrail. It has the qr25de under the hood. You made it look so simple to replace it. Awesome video. Greetings from south east Asia.
Ya know I had been fighting with that lower 14 mm alternator bolt on my 08 Rogue until I watched this video. THANK YOU! Only took me 15 seconds to do watching this video after a whole day of trying to figure out wtF I was missing. This vid is top notch!!
I thought my transmission was whining so I propped a broom handle from the seat to the gas pedal so I could hear it outside the car. Then i realized it does it in park. Bingo! Alternator! Good run through. I need to invest in a battery ratchet. Save these hands! 10/10 video! Thanks
This the best video i could find. You did a great job going into detail step by step. Sir i appreciate you for making this video and helped me for what i was looking for.
Thanks for all the help! .... you did a great job with the instructional video and that was a great tip about using 2 wrenches for more leverage on the tensioner pulley .... made for a smooth installation
Great video!! I need to replace the alternator on my 2010 Nissan Versa. I'm on my way to pick up the alternator now & thanks in part to you I feel pretty confident I can do it. Besides your need to protest your sexual orientation, the video was very ”straight" forward & informative! Thank you keep 'em coming!
This is the best video he must has the camera on a tripod most video's are Shakey when people make a video they should have someone hold the camera or put it on a tripod like this guy. i watched several videos one was so jittery it gave me a headache.
Thank you very much for making this video. I was able to do this repair in the rain in my works parking lot, you saved this pizza driver from down time and no money
Mine wasn't nearly that easy to remove or reinstall. It was stuck so badly that I spent hours wiggling it up and down and pulling on it and then tapping it with a hammer to get it back in. Why would I have so much trouble with mine when yours came right out and went right back in?
Lol. Worried about a serpentine belt that costs $25 -$35 but didn't bat an eyelash at replacing the alternator that may still be good but with bad flywheel at a cost of about $500 - $800. Great logic.
Quick, easy and to the point, thank you sir! Update: I was able to change mine out. It took me longer than 30 min., but a saved a couple hundred for sure. Thanks again. 🫡
The alternator on my 2010 is way down inside and not nicely assessible like the one here. I decided just to take mine to the job because I don't have the tools to drop the engine and accessing via the front will be a pain and require the whole radiator to come out. Thanks for the video though.
I was going to ask. I have the same car and it recently broke down. I did notice that the battery and brake light were flickering on and off a few days before it stopped working. Now when I try to start it, the dashboard and radio will flicker on and off and the car won't even stay on. Do you think these may be symptoms of a bad alternator? Thanks!
Getting ready to put the second one on my 2009 Altima. Exactly the same issue very noisy but working electrically. Seems these things only last for about 45000 miles on an Altima. Ordered the last one from Amazon and got it for half price of Oreilly , however maybe that's why im replacing it again?? I personally would have replaced the belt too since you already removed it. Good video thanks.
Cambie el mio es un Altima 2007 aprendi mucho de este video lo que mas pensaba era aflojar el tensor y aqui en un momento pense que no habia puesto de regreso la Serpentine Velt.
Does your removal method here apply to the 2014 model nissan altima too ? And did you have to remove front bumper loosen radiator support and have to empty any of the fluids just to remove the alternator?
Can u tell me the steps to replacing a 14 maxima the videos out there are unclear and not properly showing step by step. It’s really frustrating that no one can make a good video on it.
If you don't mind I could send you videos as well for working on cars, I do everything you can think of and I can break down the videos so they're user-friendly for first time mechanics plus I can show them how to diagnose everything kind of teach them how electric works just as simple things I don't want to be too complicated a lot of first-timers won't understand
@@mexicalibc7937 no problem... It's gonna be difficult to determine the quality! That's why we get warranties. Should be a limited life time warranty if I recall. Hopefully you never have to use it! I've had a %90 precent success rate with O'Reilly's alternator, rarely I've had to do warranty replacements. I did 1 out of 7 I put on last year, issues are rare but they do happen. Good luck!
@@c6smic_trxble918 there's a pinch nut at the bottom that slide close as you tighten it. Knock that out a couple millimeters and it make installation very easy
@@partsshooterIts funny cause im at my shop and we are all having an issue getting it in. What would you use? I don’t have a hammer small enough to do that
@@c6smic_trxble918 take the bolt that goes into it... run it into the pinch nut hole, take a hammer and tap the head of the bolt. Do this while alternator is out
Just started the vid, but real quick ? Are you still using that same impact that's in the video? I bought mine a little over a year ago, never was able to get a spare battery for it and the battery has finally failed...
Power torque tools are crap above ok, I started to do a video on them. I use them daily! They quickly begin to degrade after a month! The battery in the impact fails to retain itself because of excessive vibration in combination with dropping damages they spring loaded retainer. Luckily I spend so much at oreilys, they warrnty it thank goodness. As for the driver, they do sell battery packs separate
@@partsshooter 10-4. Maybe I can try to get them to warranty mine. I bought an extra pack for the 12v driver. That thing was a life saver Still wondering when its gonna fail though.. Awesome vid btw. Gotta replace my wife's alternator today. That tensioner was a b!+(% last time i replaced the belt lol
The Electrical system cant operate properly below 12v.... 11.5v is pushing it! But below 11v-10v electrical components begins to go crazy and car slowly shuts down to reduce power. At 9-8v the car should succumb to inadequate voltage
@@partsshooter Thank You...... once again for the quick college course on automobile voltage. Your video should save my son a bunch of money. Have a Great Day !
@@partsshooter ok , do you know what it goes to ? My alternator works fine . My ground cable is not connected and i was just wandering what system it is for.

Perfect. Removing the alternator on the 2013 Nissan Altima coupe 2.5 was simple, thanks for your video.

This looks like it should be one of the easiest replacements compared to most other cars
I copyright that "how I like my women" line 😂😂

Now when I try to start it, the dashboard and radio will flicker on and off and the car won't even stay on. Do you think these may be symptoms of a bad alternator? Thanks!
Yes. If your belts are properly tight. Good battery connection. Good connection at alternator and the alternator old. Yes, you have alternator issues
What’s the size of the hose packing in the compresor
Thanks a lot man you made my job a lot easier
Nice work. Thanks for the help.
Greatest video ever
This is the best video I can find but I have a 2016 Altima. Do you know if they are similar?
It should be the same they change em every 3-5 or somewhere in there. I have a 08 and 15 and under the hood exact same
I gave you a thumbs up as soon as you made the comment " thick like my women and straight like my sexuality"!
Best video out there! Thanks man!
if I can't get the bottom bolt out, can I cut the head and remove the alternator with the bolt still in it?

Are you guys using a universal alternator or remanufactured one..

Always pull the belt off and put on the smooth wheel.
Thanks!!!
Good clean video sir!
Great video! Keep up with the great work!
Great job...Where are you located I need you asap
What mm bolt for the bottom screw
Thanks for the video brother!!!👌🏽

Great video. I love it
What are the two wires that lay on top of alternator? One is Black and the other Tan/Brown. Thank you for the video.
I'd imagine they run to the ac compressor. The compressor is directly below the alternator

do you think this can be done without jacking the car up?
great video btw
Plausibly, assuming the persons thin and small
Where did You Buy the alternator AutoZone, i need to do this job on My girls car, and i want yo know if those arecany good.
I purchased the alternator from O'Reilly's. I'd say %85 percent of the parts I install on this channel will come from there.

What is that cable thats sticking out a 5:44.
It's a ground cable
@@partsshooter yea gotcha, but what does it go to by chance?
The alternator has all its cables and then theres that ground with 1 small bolt tight above the alternator
