CHARGING SYSTEM — Alternator — Refitting (Cont'd), Removal/Refitting (no PS/AC), Disassembly (Base K11)

EL-37prose procedure

Base K11 CHARGING SYSTEM — refitting torques (PS/AC: upper fixing 15.7-20.6, adj plate 15.9-20.6, securing/lower 37.3-50 N·m), non-PS/AC removal+refit (swing alternator to tension belt), disassembly (3 wing clips + 3 bolts back cover; brush/connector PCB replaced as a unit). Figs UEL038-040.

Alternator — Refitting (Cont'd)

Alternator — Removal (for vehicles without power steering and/or air conditioning)

Alternator removal (no PS/AC)

1
Remove battery negative lead from battery.
2
Remove lower alternator fixing bolt.
3
Remove power supply cable.
4
Disconnect harness connector.
5
Slacken alternator securing bolt.
6
Slacken drive belt by slackening alternator adjusting bolt (anti-clockwise) and moving alternator.
7
Remove alternator upper securing bolt and remove alternator.

Alternator — Refitting

Alternator refitting (no PS/AC)

1
Installation of the alternator is the reverse of the removal procedure.
2
Tighten bolts to the torque figures specified.
3
Refer to MA section for full details of belt tensioning specifications.

Alternator — Disassembly

Alternator disassembly

1
Remove alternator from vehicle as described previously.
2
Remove bolts (3) from back cover.
3
Pull out wing clips (3) and remove back cover.
4
To remove brushes, remove two screws holding connector/brush assembly to body. The brushes and power transistor are soldered to the connector p.c.b., replace complete unit if brush holder, power transistor or connector is found to be faulty.

NOTE

Two removal variants: PS/AC cars use the idler + adjusting-plate hardware (torques in UEL038), while non-PS/AC cars swing the alternator on its securing bolt to tension a simple 2-pulley belt (UEL039). Disassembly: pull 3 wing clips + 3 bolts for the back cover; brushes/power transistor are soldered to the connector PCB — replace the whole brush/connector assembly if any of brush holder, power transistor or connector is faulty (not individually serviceable).
