  Q: How to replace the alternator (LLV/LLR) (2.9L, 3.7L) on GMC Canyon?

  A: To remove the generator (LLV/LLR) (2.9L, 3.7L), start with disconnecting the battery negative cable. Removing the Drive Belt and lifting the vehicle to a level whereby you can have access to pass the A/C Compressor through the wheelhouse. There is no need to vacate the a/c refrigerant when you can get the left front wheel and the left wheelhouse liner out, then loosen the A/C Compressor connection from a bracket. Remove the A/C Compressor mounting bolt, while leaving the upper mounting bolt with the A/C Compressor. Lower the vehicle and move the protective boot from the generator output bat terminal to allow access. Disconnect the generator lead from the generator and disconnect the wiring harness connector; detach the generator output bat terminal nut. Disconnect the three mounting bolts of the generator and engine lift bracket to provide space for the generator. Shift the A/C Compressor toward the front to facilitate generator removal, and then remove the generator off the engine. For installation, stand the generator to the engine and install the engine lift bracket. Mount the generator bolts and tighten them in a sequence of 50 nm (37 lb ft). Attach the generator lead to the generator and mount the generator output bat terminal nut into 20 nm (15 lb ft). Push on the protective boot to the generator output bat terminal and attach the wiring harness connector to the generator. Lift up the vehicle again to align the A/C Compressor to the engine then install the A/C Compressor mounting bolts and secure with 50 nm (37 lb ft). Connect the A/C Compressor electrical connector to the bracket, then reinstall left wheelhouse liner, and the left front wheel. Reduce vehicle, set up the Drive Belt and lastly rejoin the battery negative cable.

  Q: How to replace the steering wheel on GMC Canyon?

  A: The first step to replacing a Steering Wheel includes setting front wheels in direct alignment while locking the Steering Column with anti-rotation pin (J 42640) through the lower Steering Column trim cover access. Make alignment marks between the Steering Wheel and Steering Shaft after removing the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module. When loosening the Steering Wheel nut for two complete turns use your fingers to gently pull the wheel from the Steering Column before removing the nut. Guide the electrical connectors (1,3) through the Steering Wheel while removing it in a damage-free manner. Before Steering Wheel installation maintain your front wheels in their direct center position. Position the new Steering Wheel adjacent to the Steering Shaft while orienting the arrow at 12 o'clock then check for correct meshing of wheel teeth with Steering Shaft teeth. When reusing the original Steering Wheel position it properly according to the removal marks while verifying that electrical connectors (1,3) remain unpinched. Screw in the Steering Wheel nut then torque it to 35 nm (26 lb ft). As the final step install the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module while removing the anti-rotation pin (J 42640).
