• Q: How to remove the alternator on 2008 Scion xD?

  A: You need to start the alternator replacement by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal. The process starts with removing the engine under cover on the right-hand side while then proceeding to take off the No. 2 cylinder head cover. Remove the engine fan together with the generator V belt. Start by removing the right-hand side engine mounting insulator sub-assembly which requires the removal of 2 bolts for the engine mounting stay then inserting a wooden block underneath the engine using a jack system before continuing to discard the 6 bolts and nut while keeping bolt A in position. You should remove the transverse engine mounting bracket through a process that requires 3 bolt removals. Begin by removing 2 bolts from the fan belt adjusting bar then the terminal cap before removing the nut to detach terminal B. Next disconnect the connector and harness clamp then remove the bolt to take out the generator assembly and finish by removing the bolt which detaches the wire harness bracket.
