• Q: How to service and repair the alternator on 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: The service operation starts with draining engine coolant from the generator system. Loosen the belt tension using the belt tensioner before removing the generator drive belt because the tensioner pulley bolt operates on a left-hand thread. The service begins by taking off the PS vane pump pulley and radiator assembly followed by engine under cover No.1. Complete generator disconnection happens through the removal of generator connector and rubber cap and nut together with generator wire whereas its clamp needs to be detached from the cord clip. Use the bolt and nut to install the new generator following a complete bolt removal then tighten the bolt to 39 Nm (400 kg.cm, 29 ft.lb). Reconnect all components in their original order by putting the generator wire back to the cord clip and fitting the nut then rubber cap before reattaching the generator wire clamp to the cord clip. From there continue by placing back the PS vane pump pulley and the radiator assembly and installing the generator drive belt after using the belt tensioner to turn it counterclockwise. The procedure continues with adding engine coolant then starting the engine to check for leaks before reviewing the coolant level while performing an on-vehicle examination before installing engine under cover No.1.
