2007 Toyota Camry Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the alternator on 2007 Toyota Camry?

  A: Service technicians should start the alternator repair by pulling it apart. Neutralize the generator clutch pulley by using a screwdriver to drill the generator pulley cap into its center then burglar it free without using this cap again. Special Service Tool 09820-63020 enables clamping the rotor shaft into a vise while you fit the clutch pulley wrench onto the clutch pulley for loosening by directing the tool rotation. The tool operator needs to remove the generator assembly from its place while simultaneously removing the clutch pulley from the rotor shaft. Install the generator assembly on the clutch pulley before removing 3 nuts when accessing the generator brush holder assembly through its two screws. Start by removing the terminal insulator followed by removing the generator rotor assembly through the process of unbolting four pieces followed by one bolt and a cord clip. Use Special Service Tool 09950-40011 (available components) for coil removal. The reassembly process includes first pressing in a new generator drive end frame bearing using tools 09950-60010 and 09950-70010 (numbers 09951-00250 and 09951-07100) before unscrewing four screws to remove the components. Assemble the new generator drive end frame bearing by using existing tools followed by placing the retainer plate into cutouts before screwing 4 bolts with 2.3 N.m (23 kgf.cm, 20 in.lbf) torque. The drive end frame gets mounted on the clutch pulley after which the rectifier end frame receives the generator rotor together with a new washer. The generator coil assembly installation requires Special Service Tool 09612-70100 (09612-07240) to press individual components while the 4 bolts reach 5.8 N.m (59 kgf.cm, 51 in.lbf) followed by cord clip installation at 4.6 N.m (47 kgf.cm, 41 in.lbf). Begin by inserting 2 brushes into their designated area of the holder then place a 1.0 mm (0.039 in.) pin before adding 2 screws that need to be tightened at 1.8 N.m (18 kgf.cm, 16 in.lbf) torque level before removing the pin. The terminal insulator must be installed first onto the rectifier end frame followed by the rear end cover with 3 nuts torqued up to 4.6 N.m. Place the clutch pulley against the rotor shaft before clamping it using Special Service Tool 09820-63020. Tighten the pulley to 111 N.m (1,125 kgf.cm, 81 ft.lbf) while accounting for the tool length for torque adjustment. Remove the generator assembly from the tool after checked clutch pulley rotation then install a new clutch pulley cap.
