Mounting of generators
1 – tension bar; 2 – V-belt; 3 – generator; 4 – generator mounting bracket; 5 – bracket; 6 – lid; 7 – oil protection
Despite the differences in the design of engines and generators installed on cars, the steps for removing and installing the generator are almost the same.
1. Remove the ground wire from the battery.
2. In a diesel engine, remove the timing belt cover and the plastic cover of the crankshaft belt pulley.
3. Remove the heat shield.
4. Remove the connector from the back of the generator.
5. Loosen the mounting bolts, unscrew the generator tension bolt and tilt it toward the engine. If you need to tilt the generator more, remove the tension bracket.
6. Remove the V-belt.
7. Unscrew the two bolts securing the generator to the bracket and remove the generator.
8. The generator is installed in the reverse order of removal.
9. Tighten the pre-screwed generator mounting bolts in the following sequence: tensioner, then front and rear bolts.
10. After installing the generator, it is necessary to tighten the drive belt.
