2002 Toyota Corolla Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the alternator on 2002 Toyota Corolla?

  A: Service of the alternator requires driving belt removal using a clockwise motion of the drive belt tensioner followed by drive belt extraction and proper repositioning of the tensioner. The procedure starts with removing the wire clamp from the wire clip of the rectifier end frame for generator wire disconnection through rubber cap and nut liberation. The generator connector must also get disconnected. You should remove the generator through the two securing bolts. The generator's installation requires using both bolts to secure it with 24.5 N.m torque for the 14 mm bolt and 54 N.m for the 17 mm bolt which corresponds to 250 kg.cm at 18 ft.lb and 550 kg.cm at 40 ft.lb respectively. Reconnect the generator connector after applying the generator wire with its nut and installing the rubber cap followed by attaching the wire clamp to the wire clip on the rectifier end frame.
