2004 Toyota RAV4 Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the alternator on 2004 Toyota RAV4?

  A: Service and repair of the alternator begins by using Special Service Tool: 09249-63010 to engage the hexagonal bracket for drive belt tensioner tensions which should be turned clockwise for at least 3 seconds until the belt becomes removable. The generator service process begins by first disconnecting the wire clip from the wire connectors and afterward removing the wire clamp followed by removing the cap and nut from the generator wire then disconnecting the generator connector before removing the two bolts securing the generator. When installing the generator use the two bolts then torque bolt A to 52 N.m (530 kg.cm, 38 ft.lb) and nut B to 21 N.m (214 kg.cm, 15 ft.lb). Lastly connect the generator connector, fasten the generator wire with the nut and place the cap before torquing it to 9.8 N.m (100 kg.cm, 87 in.lb). Fitting the wire clamp to its original position provides you with the next step of linking the wire clip to the generator wire connectors. Reinstall the drive belt through use of Special Service Tool: 09249-63010 to pressurize belt tension for at least 3 seconds until belt installation completes.
