• Q: How to install the alternator assembly on 2010 Scion xB?

  A: The first step in installing the 2AZ-FE charging system generator assembly involves securing the wire harness clamp bracket using a bolt that should be torqued to 8.4 Nm (86 kgf-cm, 74 in-lbf). Two bolts should be used to attach the generator assembly where Bolt A receives 21 Nm (215 kgf-cm, 16 ft-lbf) torque and Bolt B needs 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft-lbf). The generator wire requires installation at terminal B where a nut should be tightened to 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf) before clamping the generator connector in place. Secure the two wire harness clamps before adding the fan along with the generator V belt. You must first position the rear engine under cover RH before connecting the negative battery cable using appropriate torque of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 47 in-lbf).
