Begin generator replacement by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable (RPO L26/3.8L). After removing the intake manifold cover you should also remove the Drive Belt. Begin by removing the generator brace bolt and nut then proceed to remove the generator brace. The engine harness electrical connector needs unattachment from the generator then follow by relocation of the starter cable boot before removing the generator terminal nut and starter cable from the generator. Follow this sequence to uninstall the generator: remove the generator's front bolt, rear bolt and stud. To install the generator you must position it on the engine then install the generator front bolt. Secure the generator rear stud and bolt by torquing them to 50 n.m (37 lb ft). Fasten the starter cable to the generator before tightening the generator terminal nut to 20 n.m using (15 lb ft) torque specification. The installation process requires fitting the starter cable boot followed by connecting the engine harness electrical connector to the generator while mounting the generator brace along with its bolt and nut. Tighten the bolt to 25 n.m (18 lb ft) and the nut to 50 n.m (37 lb ft). The last installation steps include the Drive Belt and intake manifold cover before reattaching the negative Battery Cable.

For changing the generator, turn off the negative Battery Cable, remove the Radiator and the Drive Belt. Disconnect the engine wiring harness electric connector from the generator, move the starter solenoid cable protective boot from the generator, remove generator terminal nut, after which the starter solenoid cable terminal is removed. Next, unbolt the generator and move the cable out of the way (engine ground cable) before pulling out the generator. For the installation, place the generator to the engine and install the generator bolts finger tight in the manner. Upper bolt, side bolt, and lower bolt, tightening them up to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). Replace starter solenoid cable terminal and fix generator terminal nut to 12 nm (106 inch lbs.). Move the starter solenoid cable protective boot to the generator and connect the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the generator and then install a Drive Belt and radiators before reconnecting the negative Battery Cable.

Begin generator replacement by taking out the negative cable that connects to the battery. Begin by taking out both the Radiator along with the Drive Belt. Tear the engine wiring harness electrical connector away from the generator before repositioning the protective boot of the starter solenoid cable at the same position. Transfer both the generator terminal nut and starter solenoid cable terminal from the generator piece-by-piece before bolting the generator in place. First disconnect the generator then move the engine ground cable. To start the generator installation process you should place it on the engine and then tighten the generator bolts by hand in this particular order: upper bolt first followed by side bolt then lower bolt afterward you should apply 50 nm (37 lb ft) of torque to the bolts. Begin installation by placement of the upper bolt followed by the side bolt and then the lower bolt before securing all generator bolts at 50 nm torque (37 lb ft). Fasten the starter solenoid cable terminal to the generator while also tightening the generator terminal nut to 12 nm (106 lb in). The starter solenoid's protective boot receives its position at the generator location before hooking up the engine wiring harness electrical connector. Insert the Drive Belt followed by the Radiator installation. After finishing up connect the Battery Cable to the negative terminal.

Install the generator front bolt, followed by the generator rear stud and bolt.

Install the starter cable to the generator and secure the generator terminal nut to 20 N.m (15 lb ft).

Connect the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the generator.

Install the starter solenoid cable terminal to the generator and secure the generator terminal nut to 12 N.m (106 lb in).

Reposition the starter solenoid cable protective boot and connect the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the generator.
