How do you change a car's alternator

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Alternator

Video tutorial

In this video we can see a generic way to change the alternator of a car. In fact, the method is essentially the same on all cars: only the position of the component changes, but the procedure is the same. Since we will be working on an electrical circuit, the first thing to do is to disconnect the battery, always disconnecting the negative pole first and then the positive one, in order to work in complete safety.

Then we disconnect the alternator terminals, putting the bolt back in place; unplug the electrical connector, after which we can proceed to loosen the alternator fastening. Once we have removed the bolts, we can also remove the belt and remove the device from its housing.

For the reassembly of the new device, we will proceed in the reverse order. We mount the main shaft, connect the belt, put back its bolts, reconnect the wiring and the terminal and now we can reconnect the battery.
