• Q: How to remove and replace the alternator on 2010 Scion xD?

  A: Beginning the repair process of the alternator in 2ZR-FE engines necessitates disconnection of the negative battery terminal cable. The first step includes removing both the right-hand side engine under cover alongside the No. 2 cylinder head cover. The next step moves to taking out the fan and generator V belt from its position. The right-hand side engine mounting insulator assembly removal sequence begins through detaching the engine mounting stay by removing two bolts while placing a wooden block on a jack beneath the engine followed by removing six bolts and a nut while keeping bolt A secure. Next move on to removing the transverse engine mounting bracket through the removal of its three mounting bolts. The generator assembly removal process starts with removing two bolts from the fan belt adjusting bar before removing the terminal cap and the nut securing terminal B. Disconnect the connector and harness clamp while taking out the bolt from the generator assembly until you detach both the wire harness bracket and generator assembly.
