So in this video
We're going to be replacing an alternator
in a 2003 Mercedes E320
He's on his way now
Step One, Disconnect the battery.
Do the negative...negative side
There it is... Make sure it cant touch it
You don't want it coming back on and
giving us a shock.
Alright looks good.
Okay we're going to take off these covers.
So next we gotta remove the belt.
Here's the tensioner
17mm, on the tensioner.
aaaand...
Just turn it
And the slide... Actually I am just going to slide the
belt off the alternator.
There we go.
And then
Let go..
Okay 11mm, right here
We have another 11mm on the bottom.
There it goes..
*Chatter*
There it is, and now, there is a 10mm nut
holding on the hot wire and an electrical connector
Oh this has got to be a 13mm.
Now there is an electrical connector
There it is! And then just fish it out
And... I don't know if you can hear that
But this was making a lot of noise
Now for the new one.
This is the new one, nice and quiet.
Plug in the electrical connector
And then
...get it down there first.
And now for the...positive cable
Put the nut back on.
Definitely don't want to kill this.. Just snug it.
There
We might need to pull out this sleeve a little bit
There is this sleeve here.
Let's see if I can get a bite on it...
There it is!
Alright.
Alright so now... We have to re-route the belt
It is a good idea to draw a diagram, or have something before hand
But this pretty much all stayed intact so..
There we go! Make sure the belt is in the center of the pullys.
Now check all the pullys, make sure it's on all the pullys in the center... Nothing slipped off..
Okay, Battery goes back on.
You don't want to strip it out.. There we go.
Let's put all the covers back on.
Alright, lets start it up!
Nice and quiet!
