2005 Toyota Celica Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the alternator on 2005 Toyota Celica?

  A: You need to start the alternator service by first removing the rear end cover that requires you to take off the nut, insulator, bolt, 3 nuts and plate terminal and end cover. Service and repair the alternator by first taking off the brush holder cover while removing five screws followed by the brush holder and voltage regulator. Afterward detach the seal plate from the rectifier end frame. The rectifier holder demands removal of its 4 screws and holder subsequently followed by the removal of its 4 rubber insulators. The pulley removal process requires using Special Service Tool 09820-63011 along with a torque wrench to tighten the socket clockwise to 39 Nm (400 kgf.cm, 29 ft.lbf) while maintaining the tool on the rotor shaft before mounting the adapter into a vise and inserting the socket and attaching the pulley nut to the adapter. Use a counterclockwise direction on the tool to loosen the pulley nut until it reaches half a turn but ensure the rotor shaft remains undamaged before removing the generator from the adapter and taking off the socket and pulley holding device for pulley nut and pulley extraction. First disconnect all 4 rectifier end frame nuts and wire clip before using Service Tool 09286 46011 to detach the frame along with its washer from the rotor. Position the rotor inside the drive end frame before installing the generator washer onto the rotor then compress the rectifier end frame into place through a 29 mm socket wrench while securing it with the wire clip and 4 nuts that require torquing up to 4.5 N.m (46 kgf.cm, 40 in.lbf) and 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf). Mount the pulley using hand torque on the nut followed by applying torque with the pulley holding tool (Special Service Tool 09820-63011) to 39 N.m (398 kg.cm, 29 ft.lb) while keeping the tool secured to the pulley shaft before finishing with a pulley nut torque of 111 N.m (1,132 kg.cm, 82 ft.lb). Attach the rectifier holder to its position by fitting 4 rubber insulators with proper orientation then fasten it using 4 screws tightened to 2.9 N.m (30 kgf.cm, 26 in.lbf). Follow the direction of assembly when installing the seal plate on the rectifier end frame and subsequently mounting the voltage regulator and brush holder before securing with five screws tightened to 2.0 N.m (20 kgf.cm, 18 in.lbf). Finally, complete the installation by covering the brush holder with its corresponding cover. The installation of the rear end cover begins with attaching the end cover and plate terminal using the bolt and 3 nuts then torquing Nut to 4.4 N.m (45 kgf.cm, 39 in.lbf) and the bolt to 3.9 N.m (39 kgf.cm, 35 in.lbf). Lastly, you must secure the terminal insulator using the tightened nut at 4.1 N.m (42 kgf.cm, 36 in.lbf). Verify that the rotation of the rotor shows no signs of roughness.
