• Q: How to service and repair the alternator for the Generator Assy on 2004 Toyota Solara?

  A: The first step to approach the alternator service for Generator Assy (2AZ-FE) involves removing both the fan and generator V belt. Proceed by disconnecting the engine wire before removing the two bolts which fasten the generator assembly. It is essential to position the crankshaft position sensor wire harness correctly before performing generator assembly installation. For proper installation secure the generator using these torque values: M8 bolts require 21 Nm (214 kgf.cm, 15 ft.lbf) while M10 bolts need 52 Nm (530 kgf.cm, 38 ft.lbf) and the wiring harness clamp must have 9.0 Nm (92 kgf.cm, 80 in.lbf) and the generator wire requires 9.8 Nm (100 kgf.cm, 87 in.lbf). Pay attention to the wire harness when installing the alternator to prevent any damage to it. Reinstall the fan along with the generator V belt at the end of the process.
