• Q: How to service and repair the alternator on 2005 Toyota RAV4?

  A: Service and repair of the alternator begins through belt removal using Special Service Tool: 09249-63010 that hooks onto the drive belt tensioner bracket hexagonal area where clockwise turning for at least 3 seconds compresses the tension before belt removal. The generator should be taken off after disconnecting the wire clip from connectors, unscrewing the bolt and cutting the wire clamp and then removing the cap and nut to detach the generator wire until the generator connector breaks then removing two generator securing bolts. The generator positioning requires inserting the two bolts while torqueing bolt A to 52 N.m (530 kg.cm, 38 ft.lb) and bolt B to 21 N.m (214 kg.cm, 15 ft.lb). After connecting the generator connector proceed by inserting the generator wire through the nut then replace the cap with 9.8 N.m (100 kg.cm, 87 in.lb) torque. Attach the wire clamp to the wire clip after which secure the wire clip onto the wire connectors at the generator location. Reinstall the drive belt through the use of Special Service Tool: 09249-63010 which allows the drive belt tensioner compression for a minimum duration of 3 seconds before reinstalling the drive belt correctly.
