2002 Hyundai sonata alternator help	Sign In

Hi, New user here :D. I bought a 2002 Hyundai sonata, 2 weeks in the alternator stopped working. So i figured i need to change it. I heard that in some korean cars you need to also remove the CV joint in order to get the alternator out. I want to know from those users who have experience with this car if my 2002 Hyundai sonata is also one of those vehicles. Thank you very much.

(no changes just a new edit to remove OP's edit showed an email address)

My first advice would be to change your user name. Spammers attack this site on a regular basis and they would have fun with your e-mail address.

Can't tell you much about your car yet since you didn't bother to tell us what engine you have.

The factory instructions consist of a picture only so it doesn't specify that. The only reason to remove an axle would be to provided enough space to get the alternator. Ig you can see a space that the component will fit through without removing the axle, then that will answer your question.
