After reviewing several different videos, and researching how to change the alternator on a 2004 Toyota 4Runner, 4.7 L V8  I finally getting the confidence to dive in
 Every Bolt that was removed had to be heated up with a torch to get it out. One bolt I did not heat up and it broke.
 The power steering pump pulley was removed along with the front passenger tire, Radiator water overflow reservoir, and sway bar to provide access to remove the alternator.
This was very time consuming although I am glad I was able to get it completed because the dealership wanted four hours labor which was about $600. It actually took me 4 1/2 hours to do the entire job from setting everything up to cleaning everything up .
I hope this video helps someone else over come the fear of changing the alternator on their 4.7 L V8.
