Just watched a vid. of an alternator swap on a 2011 Lexus (Rainman Ray)....Fuck that!
Half the engine removed just to get close, and even with all fastenings out its a shit fight all the way. Definitely *not* for me, I couldn`t get my hands even close...
Glad I can pick and choose.

I didn't watch all of it but I saw something similar on another YouTube
channel.
Alternator was under the V8 valley cover which had to be removed to
access it?
What a dumb idea.

I never watched it, but there's a lot of cars like that these days. The
turbo on my Navara is set deep in the engine's V at the rear, and to get
access to it you need to remove the transmission.

This was an 2011 RX 350.. Alt. down the front of the engine.This blokes first go at one.
However like a lot of things, there are other/easier ways, in the comments a lexus expert explained taking off the inner right guard, poking a 6 mm bolt thru a hole in belt tensioner and pulling on the tensioner allowing bolt to drop into a hole in the block allowing access to lower alternator bolt..The bit that caused all the trouble....Still a cunt of a job, but maybe he shoulda done a wee google first. :)

As I said, there's a lot like that these days.

Something as basic as a VE Commodore V8 is a cunt of a thing for an
alternator change in that the power steering pump sits right on top of
the alternator completely blocking access to it. You have to remove the
power steering pump and it's bracket to get access to the alternator so
you can remove it.

Fortunately, or unfortunately as the case may be for V8 Commodore
owners, the power steering pumps on VE V8's are hideously unreliable and
usually dump a tonne of transmission fluid into the alternator when they
fail, requiring both pump and alternator to be changed together.

Nice.
My model Benz alternator is very easy to change especially if you have a
hoist because it has to be accessed from underneath.
I had to change mine after the front bearing failed, I suspect that
after fixing an oil leak then using lots of degreaser and water to clean
the front of the engine that mess got into the alternator damaging the
bearing.

Not if you're a Commodore owner, but then you need to have a masochistic

Not many engines like to get wet these days.

There are some *stupidly* designed vehicles out there when it comes to
maintenance and/or repair. One of the better ones I've seen in recent
times was a Nissan GQ Patrol with a 4.2 petrol engine in it. I had a guy
I used to do work for plead with me to change the clutch in his as he
couldn't find anyone else willing to do it, and after looking at the
thing it's not hard to see why.

To get the gearbox out you have to remove the starter and bellhousing
bolts which is a chore in itself, and then pull the gearbox back just
enough to clear the dowels before rotating it almost 180 degrees to
allow the starter "hump" to clear the transmission tunnel and the
gearbox to be moved back and dropped out.

A chore made more difficult by the fact that Nissan glues the
bellhousings to the back of the engine block to seal the clutch against
water ingress in off road conditions and breaking that seal can be hard
work after some years, but also because the transmission needs to be
removed with the transfer case attached and the combined weight of them
is well over a couple hundred kg's. You can't tilt the engine back
enough to get enough clearance to pull the trans straight out, and the
only other way of doing it is to remove the engine which is just as much
work if not more. It is one of the best examples of manufacturers
throwing vehicles together without giving the slightest shit about how
they need to be taken apart for maintenance that I've seen.

And no, I didn't do his clutch either. After looking at it and
discovering how it needed to be done I told him I wasn't interested. At
this stage of my life I don't need to work that hard :)

Just got back from my son's factory, he just bought a wrecked VE SS
wagon that's been rolled.
Its only done approx 100,000km so the engine and trans with the ECU etc
is worth around $11,000.00 so they are good value as wrecks:-)

Donating their engines for other projects is the best thing for them
really, as they're *cunts* of cars. I wouldn't own one if you gave me
one for free.

Total shit of a job, but typical of the mess created when you fit an
engine/trans combo into a vehicle that was never designed to accommodate
it.

All that's saying is that you're as big an idiot as ***EVERYONE*** says.

You take it, you drive it until it requires expensive work, you ditch it.

IIRC, you did have a VR {and it takes about 2 minutes to change
alternator in them}

Son couldn't wait to get rid of his VE SS ute, had it for a couple of
years and he got sick of bits of trim constantly falling off but at
least he had no major issues with it.
His brother in law bought one at the same time, still has it and he's
already spent $1000's fixing engine problems like needing to replace
lifters and the cam they damaged, its done less than 100,000km.

They seem to go out of their way to make some of these jobs as difficult
as possible.
Sounds like it would easier to cut a chunk out of the floor to allow the
trans to come straight back then weld it back when you have finished:-)

They are a *cunt* of a car.

I did the alternator and power steering pump on the the VE Clubby I was
talking about not long ago that belonged to my kid's old teacher that
had the crook injector. It suffered a typical power steering pump
failure that took the alternator out with it as many of them do.

Tell his brother in law that if he needs a power steering pump and wants
to use one of the cheap Chinese pumps (as the owner of the Clubsport
did) he needs to watch out for pulley alignment issues. The cheap
Chinese pumps work okay, but they often come fitted with a pulley that's
the right "V8 type" diameter but has the wrong offset:

> https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME8C1QC

There's no correcting it other than to remove the original pulley off
the old pump and fit it to the new one which would be a task if you
don't have the right tool:

I honestly don't think they give a toss. It goes in on the assembly line
and they couldn't care less about it after that.

Lol :)

He has absolutely no fucking clue at all, but then what do you expect
from a fucking *munt* who sooked about his boy racer wank exhaust not
sounding as wank as it should after the heap of excrement was towed back
to the dealership?

What a fucking tool :)

Takes a little longer than 2 minutes, but they're relatively simple.
Still, there are two things worth noting here.

Firstly, whether he owns, or did own, a VR 6 cylinder Commodore and the
ease at which their alternators can be changed has no relevance
whatsoever to comments about the difficulties of doing the same thing on
a VE V8.

Secondly, and somewhat more interestingly, I only mentioned VE V8
alternators because I changed one relatively recently and know exactly
what's involved in doing so. I never mentioned Jerky junior, alluded to
him in any way or have any idea (or care about) what car he happens to
drive these days, but that clearly hasn't prevented him from doing his
best to make himself the centre of the conversation and pathetically
make himself out to be the victim as he's doing here.

This should tell *anyone* all they ever need to know about how much of a
fucked up moron this idiot is....

It doesn't have to, conversations evolve.

The problem is, you have absolutely no integrity so all your whining,
bitching and relevance depraved rubbish amounts to nought.
For the record.
