• Q: How to service and repair the alternator on 2006 Toyota Tundra?

  A: A proper start to servicing and repairing the alternator needs the removal of four bolts from the V-bank cover and engine under cover. The first step includes removing the V belt that connects the fan to the generator and the battery from its position. Begin generator removal by disconnecting the wire harness and then removing the bolt as well as the wire harness stay. Then disconnect the connector from the generator before removing the terminal cap and nut. Next disconnect the wire harness from terminal B. Start by taking away two bolts and the wire harness clamp bracket from the generator assembly followed by removing the two bolts that attach the generator. The generator installation process requires users to first secure the 2 bolts at 43 N.m (438 kgf.cm, 32 ft.lbf) while installing the generator. To complete the procedure first connect the wire harness to terminal B and install its nut using a torque of 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 7 ft.lbf) while the generator assembly requires connection of the connector. Last, install the wire harness stay with the bolt tightened to 8.0 N.m (82 kgf.cm, 71 in.lbf). The installation process requires a battery reinstallation followed by placing the fan and then setting the generator V belt. The engine under cover sub-assembly No.1 needs installation with 4 bolts achieving a torque setting of 29 N.m (296 kgf.cm, 21 ft.lbf) before installing the V-bank cover using 2 nuts at 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 87 in.lbf).
