Where is the alternator on a Kia Rio?
The alternator in the Kia Rio is located on front low-side of the engine. The alternator is much more accessible by lifting the vehicle. Since a floor jack and jack stands only offer limited room, this repair is much easier on a commercial vehicle suspension lift.
How do you remove an alternator from a car?
Remove the alternator tensioner mounting bolt and then the belt tensioner itself. Finish removing the alternator pivoting bolt. Loosen the bolt of the adjusting bracket enough to rotate the bracket upward. At this point, you’ll be able to remove the alternator.
Do you remove the pivoting bolt on an alternator?
Loosen, but do not remove, the alternator pivoting bolt and the tensioner mounting bolt. This will allow you to pivot the alternator in the direction to relieve tension on the drive belt. Remove the water pump pulley and then remove the power steering pump to get it out of the way.
