Trying to replace an alternator on a 2007 Lexus IS350?
I've replaced alternators before, on Fords and older trucks, but I can't figure out how to break this one loose. I know I'm likely missing a bolt somewhere but I haven't been able to find a diagram to see what I'm supposed to be doing. I've removed the plastic shrouds and have been able to remove the serpentine belt without an issue, and removed the visible bolts that appear to be holding it in, but I'm not even able to wiggle it at all. Any help with a diagram or if anyone with some experience with an IS350 can help, I'd be in your debt. I'd rather not dump $1200 into an alternator repair if I don't have to.
Should be just two bolts. It's not rare to have to pry them off. Use your head and pry against sturdy metal. You could damage the alternator prying it off but being your replacing it anyway it's not a problem. Just be careful and watch what your prying on and against.
There's a hidden bolt behind near manifold. 10 mm

- Which car should I take to a drive in movie date (lexus or ford expedition) any thoughts? Ok so I'm taking a girl on a date to a drive in movie and just have a quick question on what type of car would be better to take So I have a lexus that is nice and very comfty but the seats only go back a little ways. My other car is a ford expedition in which the entire back seats go down so there would be more room to lie down thinking as the girl which car would you prefer or think would be more appropriate. I was thinking of leaning towards going towards my ford. Any thoughts?
- Cars similar to the Lexus ES300 and Crown Ford victoria? I'm looking for a car that is built like a tank or rides smooth. Gets good gas mileage and is reliable.
