2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder Alternator Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service the alternator on 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder?

  A: You must start alternator servicing by working on the drive belt according to these steps: rotate the tensioner clockwise until the belt becomes loose enough to remove it and afterward place the tensioner correctly. The next step requires the removal of RH engine mounting insulator from the system. Begin removal of generators by first unfastening the wire clamp from its wire clip fixture on rectifier end frame components before unfastening the generator wire by removing the cap and nut. The last step includes disconnecting the generator connector. Remove the generator by taking out its two securing bolts. First for installation secure the generator to the two bolts with careful torque adjustments of 25 N.m (255 kgf.cm, 18 ft.lbf) for 12 mm heads while using 54 N.m (550 kgf.cm, 40 ft.lbf) for 14 mm head preservation. Reconnect the wire clamp to the wire clip first while you also connect the generator connector and generator wire before using the nut and cap for final wire security. Reinstall the RH engine mounting insulator followed by the drive belt installation process that must end with a clockwise turn of the drive belt tensioner to achieve proper security.
