Toyota Celica Parts Questions & Answers

  • Q: How to remove the timing chain on Toyota Celica?
    A: The first step to remove the timing chain requires upper front fender apron seal removal along with upper radiator support seal and engine coolant drainage before taking off the RH front wheel and RH engine under cover. Start by removing the air switching valve from 2ZZ-GE models and then proceed to take off the drive belt along with the generator. Detaching the PS pump requires disconnecting the PS oil pressure switch connector followed by removing two nuts and through bolts before hanging the pump using a string. Uninstall the RH engine mounting insulator after first placing a jack under the engine with wood support. The 1ZZ-FE requires removing 4 bolts and 2 nuts while the 2ZZ-GE needs the removal of 5 bolts and 2 nuts. The 1ZZ-FE requires removal of its cylinder head cover by first unfastening 2 nuts, 2 clips, 4 ignition coils, 2 PCV hoses and 9 bolts with their paired seal washers and 2 nuts. The 2ZZ-GE requires removal of 4 bolts and ignition coils and 2 PCV hoses and 2 nuts and bolt and No.3 ventilation hose before taking out the No.1 ventilation pipe and gasket and completing the process by removing 9 bolts and wire harness protector. Turn the crankshaft pulley until its groove matches the timing mark "0" and verify that the camshaft timing sprocket marks also align to determine the TDC/compression of No.1 cylinder. Use Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-01000) to remove the crankshaft pulley before detaching the crankshaft position sensor from the timing chain cover by taking out its two bolts. Workers should begin removal of the drive belt tensioner then proceed to detach the RH engine mounting bracket (3 bolts for 1ZZ-FE or 4 bolts for 2ZZ-GE). For the 2ZZ-GE performers must also extract the front exhaust pipe, exhaust manifold stay and exhaust manifold components. You will remove the chain tensioner and water pump from the vehicle but for the 1ZZ-FE model you must also remove the timing chain cover through 11 bolt and nut removal while using Torx(R) wrench socket (E8) to remove the stud bolt then carefully pry the cover away. The 2ZZ-GE timing chain cover removal procedure requires socket E8 as well as removal of 13 bolts and the stud bolt to access the two gaskets. Stop the crank angle sensor plate and chain tensioner slipper before using two screwdrivers to remove both timing chain and crankshaft timing sprocket items while placing shop rags to stop damage. To complete the procedure remove two bolts securing the chain vibration damper before you can take out the valve timing controller assembly and camshaft timing sprocket by holding the hexagonal head wrench portion of the camshaft with a wrench and taking necessary care to avoid harm to the cylinder head and valve lifter.
  • Q: How to remove and install the radiator on Toyota Celica?
    A: One must begin radiator replacement by uninstalling the upper front fender apron seal and upper radiator support seal after draining the engine coolant while also removing the bumper cover. The radiator removal starts with the air pump assembly followed by air cleaner and engine coolant reservoir by disconnecting the 3 radiator reservoir hoses and removing the bolt for the 2ZZ-GE. The first step in removing the radiator demands disconnecting the No. 1 and No. 2 electric cooling fan connectors and the upper and lower radiator hoses and 2 A/T oil cooler hoses. Disconnect the hood lock by removing 3 bolts while also taking away the 2 bolts with the center brace, followed by 2 bolts, 2 nuts, and 2 condenser upper supports, and finally removing the bolt needed for cruise control actuator disconnection when installed. Begin the uninstallation by removing 2 radiator upper support bolts, proceeding to take away 2 upper radiator support bushings before successfully extracting the radiator assembly with both lower radiator support bushings. The removal of the electric cooling fan from the radiator requires disassembly of its 2 bolts together with its associated cooling fan assembly. Install the electric cooling fan to the radiator with its 2 bolts at 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 inch lbs.), then position the lower radiator support bushings before setting the radiator assembly followed by upper radiator support bushings and radiator upper support with its 2 bolts. Processing with cruise control demands installation of the cruise control actuator using 3 bolts followed by 2 condenser upper supports and the 2 bolts and nuts, center brace using 2 bolts, and hood lock accompanied by 3 bolts. Connect the two A/T oil cooler hoses with the lower radiator hose and the upper radiator hose and both No. 1 and No. 2 electric cooling fan connectors. The engine coolant reservoir gets secured through its bolt at 5.0 Nm torque (51 kgf-cm and 44 inch lbs) before connecting the three radiator reservoir hoses. Place the air cleaner and after that install the 2ZZ-GE air pump assembly before putting on the bumper cover. After filling the system with coolant workers must connect the upper front fender apron seal and upper radiator support seal before starting the vehicle to identify cooling system leakages.
  • Q: How to service and repair the alternator on Toyota Celica?
    A: A correct alternator service begins with rear end cover removal through sequential detachment of the nut and terminal insulator followed by bolt, three nuts, plate terminal, and end cover. Start by detaching the brush holder along with the voltage regulator through the removal of the brush holder cover followed by the 5 screws before removing the brush holder and voltage regulator and taking off the seal plate from the rectifier end frame. The repair of the rectifier holder starts by unscrewing its 4 screws along with removing the holder and extracting the 4 rubber insulators. The pulley removal process requires using Special Service Tool 09820-63010 which needs attachment to the rotor shaft using torque wrenches while tightening the socket clockwise until it reaches 39 Nm (400 kgf.cm, 29 ft.lbf) torque. Set the adapter onto a vise then put the socket inside while adding the pulley nut and use the tool to rotate counterclockwise but stop before a half turn to protect the rotor shaft. Uninstall the generator from the adapter by first removing the socket compound with the pulley holding tool then you can remove the pulley nut and pulley. To disconnect the rectifier end frame first remove all four nuts along with the wire clip before using tool O9286-46011 to remove the frame then eliminate the generator washer from the rotor. Installation begins with placing the rotor inside the drive end frame before adding the generator washer onto the rotor followed by pressing in the rectifier end frame with a 29 mm socket wrench until secured with the wire clip and four nuts and torqued Nut A to 4.5 Nm (46 kg.cm, 40 in.lb) and Nut B to 5.4 Nm (55 kg.cm, 48 in.lb). Secure the pulley to its shaft by using the pulley holding tool combined with a torque wrench. Maintain clockwise force until you reach 39 N.m (400 kg.cm, 29 ft.lb). While performing this operation make sure the tool remains on the pulley shaft. After installing the generator on the adapter users should torque the pulley nut to 111 N.m (1,132 kg.cm, 82 ft.lb). The rectifier holder requires installation with 4 rubber insulators in the proper direction before securing it with torques of 2.9 Nm (30 kg.cm, 26 in.lb) using 4 screws. First, the seal plate needs to be positioned on the rectifier end frame before adding the voltage regulator and brush holder in accordance with correct installation direction and securing with 5 screws at 2.0 Nm force (20 kg.cm torque, 18 in.lb). The installation process ends by mounting the rear end cover with its plate terminal installed through bolt and 3 nuts, then torquing Nut to 4.4 Nm (45 kg.cm, 39 in.lb) and Bolt to 3.9 Nm (39 kg.cm, 35 in.lb). Subsequently, attach the terminal insulator with correct nut torque at 4.1 Nm (42 kg.cm, 36 in.lb) while verifying the rotor's smooth rotation.
  • Q: How to service and repair the wheel bearing with ABS on Toyota Celica?
    A: The procedure to service the wheel bearing with ABS necessitates you to start by extracting the ABS speed sensor through 2 pins using a pin punch and hammer together with Special Service Tool: 09520-00031 (09520-00040, 09521-00020). Install the axle hub assembly inside a soft jaw vise but replace it immediately after strong shock impacts. Proceed with the removal of the ABS speed sensor by following protocol presented by Special Service Tool: 09520-00031 (09520-00040, 09521-00020), 09950-00020, and 2 bolts (Diameter: 12 mm, Pitch: 1.5 mm) while being mindful of contamination prevention on the sensor rotor and ensuring a direct straight pullout to avoid breaking it. Replacement of the axle hub assembly is necessary if the sensor rotor shows damage and you should not let the contacting surfaces of the axle hub and speed sensor come into contact with any foreign matter. After cleaning the contacting surface of both components apply the new ABS speed sensor onto the axle hub which should be positioned with its connector facing downward. When using Special Service Tool: 09210-76011 to install the new ABS speed sensor it is important to avoid directly tapping the speed sensor with a hammer while performing inspections for foreign matter on the detection portion and applying press force slowly in a straight direction.
