2001 Toyota Celica Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the alternator on 2001 Toyota Celica?

  A: You must separate the alternator components by first undoing the rear end cover through terminal insulator nut removal along with the bolt and 3 nuts which allows you to remove plate terminal and end cover. The alternatives require removal of brush holder and voltage regulator units after extracting the brush holder cover, 5 screws, brush holder and voltage regulator components and the seal plate from the rectifier end frame. The rectifier holder service begins by first removing all 4 screws then the holder followed by taking off the 4 rubber insulators. Use Special Service Tool 09820-63010 and attach it with a torque wrench to the rotor shaft and follow the socket protocol with 39 Nm (400 kgf.cm, 29 ft.lbf) clockwise torque to securely hold the tool until removal of the pulley. Position the adapter within a vise before placing the socket and pulley nut in position and lower the nut by turning it counterclockwise however not beyond half a revolution to safeguard the rotor shaft from damage. You should detach both the socket and pulley holding tool by turning the socket before removing the pulley nut and pulley from the generator. You must detach the rectifier end frame by first removing its 4 nuts, wire clip and then using Special Service Tool 09286-46011 to loosen the frame. Following this, dispose of the generator washer on the rotor. Reassemble the drive end frame by mounting the rotor followed by placing the generator washer onto the rotor then using a 29 mm socket wrench to press in the rectifier end frame while attaching it with wire clip and four nuts until torque reaches 4.5 N.m (46 kgf.cm, 40 in.lbf) at Nut A with 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf) at Nut B. Hook up the pulley with a hand-tight knurled nut yet complete the correct torque value of 39 N.m (400 kg.cm, 29 ft.lb) using Special Service Tool 09820-63010 while keeping the tool engaged to the pulley shaft. Mount the adapter into a vise and insert the socket followed by the pulley nut installation before achieving a torque of 111 N.m (1,132 kg.cm, 82 ft.lb). Finally, remove the generator from the adapter. Install the rectifier holder in the correct direction and secure it with 4 screws that need proper torque of 2.9 N.m (30 kgf.cm, 26 in.lbf) with rubber insulators. The seal plate must be installed on the rectifier end frame before placing the voltage regulator and brush holder in position while securing them with 5 screws that reach 2.0 N.m (20 kgf.cm, 18 in.lbf) torque. The installation of the rear end cover involves securing the end cover combined with the plate terminal through a bolt and 3 nuts which must be torqued to 4.4 N.m (45 kgf.cm, 39 in.lbf) for nuts and 3.9 N.m (39 kgf.cm, 35 in.lbf) for the bolt and completion with the terminal insulator by torquing its nut to 4.1 N.m (42 kgf.cm, 36 in.lbf). Assess that the rotor moves effortlessly when test-running the reassembled system.
