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

  A: Service and repair of the alternator requires drained engine coolant followed by generator drive belt removal through tensioner loosening using the left-hand thread pulley bolt. Service professionals should begin repairs by taking out engine under cover No.1 and radiator assembly together with the PS vane pump pulley before generator disconnection. The service requires disconnecting the generator connector followed by removing the rubber cap and nut which disconnects the generator wire after detaching the generator wire clamp from the cord clip. Take out the generator after you disconnect its bolt along with its two nuts. Place the generator correctly by fitting it with the bolt and two nuts then twist them to 39 N.m (400 kgf.cm, 29 ft.lbf) for the 10 mm nut and 15.5 N.m (158 kgf.cm, 11 ft.lbf) for the 8 mm nut. Secure the generator wire to the generator connector using the nut while torquing it to 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 87 in.lbf) and then apply the generator wire clamp and terminal cap to the cord clip. Now focus on putting in the PS vane pump pulley along with the radiator components and generator drive belt while using a counter-clockwise motion on the belt tensioner. The technician begins by filling the engine coolant before checking for any leaks. Engine coolant level is reconfirmed and an on-vehicle inspection takes place before engine under cover No.1 installation.
