2008 Toyota 4Runner Alternator Parts Q&A

• Q: How to install the alternator assembly and other components on 2008 Toyota 4Runner?

  A: The generator assembly needs one bolt and two nuts according to the installation steps where the bolt requires 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf) torque and the M10 nut requires 39 Nm (40 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf) torque and the M8 nut requires 16 Nm (158 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf). After connecting the generator connector you must attach the generator wire through a nut and rubber cap which needs to be torqued at 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 86 in-lbf). Finally attach the generator wire clamp to the cord clip on the generator. Regarding the installation of the vane pump assembly, secure it with one nut and two bolts to a torque value of 43 Nm (438 kgf-cm, 32 ft-lbf) while connecting the vacuum hose. The installation of fan with fluid coupling requires simultaneous placement of both fan and fan shroud in the engine compartment before screwing the fan shroud with three bolts torqued to 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf) using the fan with fluid coupling through four nuts torqued to 29 Nm (296 kgf-cm, 21 ft-lbf). Install the fan and generator V belt and radiator upper support seal then terminate the battery negative lead in sequence.
