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

  A: The procedure for servicing the alternator starts with engine coolant drainage followed by belt removal of the generator by loosening the belt tensioner that has a counter-clockwise threaded pulley bolt. Start by removing engine under cover No.1 together with the radiator assembly along with the PS vane pump pulley before disconnecting the generator from its components. Service of the alternator requires generators connector removal followed by rubber cap and nut extraction to release the generator wire and generator wire clamp disconnection from the cord clip. Install the new generator with bolt and nut while applying torque at 39 N.m (400 kgf.cm, 29 ft.lbf) before connecting the generator connector and wire by securing the nut and rubber cap followed by generator wire clamp installation. Next follow installation of the PS vane pump pulley, radiator assembly and generator drive belt while using the belt tensioner to turn it counterclockwise. Complete the engine coolant refilling then start the engine to search for fluid leaks while checking the coolant level before performing an inspection on the vehicle and reinstalling the Engine Under Cover number one.
