• Q: How to remove the alternator on 2009 Scion xD?

  A: The first step to take off the alternator requires disconnecting the negative battery terminal cable. The following procedure starts with removing the engine under cover from the right-hand side and the No. 2 cylinder head cover. Now detach the fan alongside the generator V belt. The right-hand side engine mounting insulator assembly removal starts with separating the engine mounting stay through 2 bolts followed by placing a wooden block under the engine on a jack and proceeding with the removal of 6 bolts and nut while maintaining bolt A integrity. You can dismantle the transverse engine mounting bracket by removing its three bolts. The process to remove the generator assembly begins by taking two bolts off to separate the fan belt adjusting bar and then using a terminal cap and nut to separate terminal B and ending with disconnecting the connector and harness clamp and removing the bolt to extract the generator assembly before taking out its wire harness bracket bolt.
