Noises problem
2004 Hyundai Sonata 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 140k miles

I have noises coming from the alternator in the morning
when it warms it goes away . I decided to change it I bought a new one but I cant take it outside from where it is . I loosened the screws . Do I need to take the CV axel out to remove the alternator or any other way ? or that is the right way to do it ? sounds like need to remove the right CV axel or the alternator cant remove it from the car , let me know before I do any damage , thanks

Hi josephr,

Thank you for the donation.

Yes, you do have to remove the CV shaft to be able to get the alternator out.
