2004 Toyota Avalon Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the alternator on 2004 Toyota Avalon?

  A: Service and repair of the alternator requires first removing the drive belt by loosening three bolts: Pivot bolt at 56 N.m along with adjustment lock bolt at 18 N.m and adjusting bolt at 56 N.m. These bolts correspond to torque values of 570 kgf.cm for the Pivot bolt and 180 kgf.cm for the adjustment lock bolt. Lastly, the belt can be removed using the adjusting bolt torque of 180 kgf.cm. The next step requires you to disconnect the generator connector followed by loosening the nut to take off the generator wire at 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 86 in.lbf) torque while taking the wire harness off the clip. The procedure ends with the removal of the pivot bolt together with the plate washer and adjusting lock bolt and the generator. During installation you should do the operations in the opposite order of removal procedures.
