• Q: How to remove and install an alternator on 2004 Toyota Echo?

  A: The procedure to remove the generator starts with unplugging the wire clamp from the wire clip on the rectifier end frame followed by removing the rubber cap and nut to disconnect the generator wire. The setup includes two steps where users separate the generator connector from the generator along with the harness clamp. Start by removing the drive belt after loosening its two bolts then remove the generator by unfastening the two securing bolts. Begin by setting up the generator before torqueing its 2 bolts just loosely. Follow drive belt installation by adjusting its tension to achieve correct torque values of 14 mm head 18 N.m (185 kgf.cm, 14 ft.lbf) and 17 mm head 54 N.m (550 kgf.cm, 40 ft.lbf). Attach the generator connector and harness clamp after connecting the generator wire with proper installation of the nut and rubber cap. The last step involves connecting the generator wire followed by installing both rubber cap and nut.
