Generator Replacement LG5

Important: Some vehicles may require you to remove other equipment in order to access the generator, drive belts and brackets.

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the wiring connectors from the back of the generator.
3. Remove the ground strap.
4. Remove the drive belt.



5. Remove the following components from the generator:

•	The mounting bolts

•	The washers and nuts

6. Remove the generator.
7. Remove the generator pulley.

Important: Change the pulley of the new generator if the pulley diameter is not exactly the same as the one being removed from the vehicle.

1. Install the generator pulley.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the generator shaft nut.

Tighten
Tighten the generator shaft nut to 100 N·m (75 lb ft).
