Emergency Garage Repair: Sorento Alternator Pulley Failure – DIY or Die Trying 😂

Описание: 🚨 EMERGENCY GARAGE ALERT: My Kia Sorento’s alternator pulley straight-up SHEARED OFF while I was cruising home! 😱 One minute everything’s fine, next thing I know the belt’s screaming, dash lights are partying, and I’m coasting on borrowed time like it’s the apocalypse.
No tow truck heroics here – I limped it into the driveway and now I’m tackling this nightmare in my Boston garage with nothing but basic hand tools, some colorful language, and pure spite. Watch the full blow-by-blow: pulley carnage reveal, belt inspection (spoiler: it didn’t survive unscathed), wrestling the old alternator out of its hiding spot, and slamming in the new one without breaking anything else… hopefully 😂
This could’ve been a $1,200+ dealer horror story, but we’re doing it budget-style. If your Sorento (or any Kia/Hyundai) suddenly loses charging power, makes death rattles, or the pulley looks like it fought a blender – this video might save your wallet and your sanity!
Real talk: These overrunning/decoupler pulleys fail sneakily on some models, shred belts, and leave you stranded. Learn from my pain!
Tools I used: Basic socket set, ratchets, breaker bar, belt tool (or long screwdriver pry magic), torque wrench for the win.
Parts: New alternator (highly recommend full unit over just pulley swap unless yours is rebuildable), fresh serpentine belt if yours got chewed up.
LIKE if you’ve ever had a part literally explode off your car mid-drive 🔥
