• Q: How to disassemble the alternator on 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser?

  A: The alternator disassembly process starts with removing the generator pulley through combination of Special Service Tool1-A and Special Service Tool1-B using a torque wrench to tighten Special Service Tool1-B clockwise at 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf) torque on a rotor shaft which is safely secured to Special Service Tool. After initial setup begins by installing Special Service Tool2 into a vise followed by Special Service Tool1-A and B insertion into Special Service Tool2 and attachment of the pulley nut. Special Service Tool1-A requires clockwise rotation at the specified points while taking caution to limit the turn to half a turn to prevent rotor shaft damage before removing the generator from Special Service Tool2. Put the generator onto the pulley and remove all 3 nuts as well as the rear end cover after unhooking the pulley and pulley nut. Unscrew 2 screws to detach the terminal insulator with the generator brush holder assembly from the unit. Extract the generator coil assembly by unfastening its 4 bolts while using SST: 09950-40011, 09951-04020, 09952-04010, 09953-04020, 09954-04010, 09955-04071, 09957-04010, 09958-04011. The generator rotor assembly can be removed by first extracting the washer and rotor and then separating the generator drive end frame bearing through four screw removal and retainer plate detachment while using SST tools: 09950-60010, 09951-00250, 09950-70010, and 09951-07100.
