2009 Toyota Corolla, Buzzing, Humming noise ALTERNATOR?
#3
My 2009 Toyota Corolla was making a noise. Didn’t realize that it was the same noise Had 14-15 months ago, when I replaced the alternator with a rebuilt.

Could not find any sign of receipt for Alternator in my 2009 Toyota Corolla Folder.

Points for Quicken for Mac here, I searched all for references to location I knew I would have bought the alternator. Then figured it would have to be an amount spent greater than $120. I then saw there was one distinct date that also matched the stamp on the side of the alternator. 1015. So I went to the area where I store receipts by CREDIT CARD invoice. There it was, receipt for the alternator. Walked in, said it makes noise, they went to the shelf, and I now have another rebuilt for $0.00.

I now rebuilt has its draw back, but I have bought from Clarks Discount Auto, which is close to me for ever and never have had a problem.

Also, I could not get the bottom 4-5” pivot bolt out. I kept rounding the head. I had put it back in too tight. I put that PB Blaster on it, and tried all my tools but nothing. Then I research how to remove a rounded bolt and read stories on this tool.

Everything I read about the tool was correct, and only 1 minute after arriving home, the bolt was turning, and out. Had to use Vise and old screwdriver to pop the tool off the 4-5” pivot bolt , but it worked great.

I had already ordered a new bolt via a phone call to my local Toyota Dealer. $4 for the bolt, is fine with me, If I learn to put it back in , NOT SO TIGHT.4

So Quicken Good. Clark Discount Auto Good, and Harbor Freight Good.

Will put together tomorrow, and thats the day I take my last pill for this pneumonia. Radiologist looked at X-ray and said YES, pneumonia.

Hope car sound quieter tomorrow.
