  A: When replacing the generator you should start by disconnecting the battery negative cable and then removing the Drive Belt from the generator. The vehicle needs to be raised and supported while technicians disconnect the electrical connector from the generator. Move the protective boot back from the generator output bat terminal before removing the generator output bat terminal nut to disconnect the battery positive lead. Lower the vehicle employing the generator lower bolts and then remove the upper generator bolt before extracting the generator from the engine. Release the generator onto its engine-mounting location then securely install the generator upper mounting bolt. After raising and securing the vehicle perform generator lower bolt installation while keeping torque at 50 n.m (37 lb ft). Install and tighten the generator bat terminal nut to 10 n.m (89 lb in) while also installing the bat terminal boot. Connect both ends of the electrical connector to the generator then lower the vehicle before installing the generator's Drive Belt and reconnecting the negative Battery Cable.

  Q: How to replace the grille emblem on Cadillac SRX?

  A: First, you need to heat the loose emblem with the J 25070 Heat Gun (J 25070) from 152 mm (6 in) while rotating heat on the emblem surface until it separates from the grille. Take caution when removing the wreath or crest emblem from the grille while preserving the painted surface. The first step is using a plastic flat-bladed tool to remove old emblem adhesive then wipe the area clean by applying 3M(R) P/N 07501 (07501) or an equivalent adhesive remover. Warm water mixed with soap will clean the area as you dry it with a non-fibered material. To prepare for application wipe the designated area with a clean lint-free cloth using equal parts isopropyl alcohol and water mixture. Use hands-only when handling the adhesive tape and prevent it from encountering any dirt. Apply 30 seconds of firm pressure to secure the emblem through its adhesive tape after you have positioned its pins (1, 2) correctly against the grille holes.
