2001 Chevrolet Lumina Alternator Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the CS130D alternator on 2001 Chevrolet Lumina?

  A: Start generator replacement by removing the negative Battery Cable that connects to the battery terminal. Begin by removing the Drive Belt from the generator followed by unscrewing bolts which secure the generator and disconnecting the electrical connector. Start by unfastening the nut that secures the battery-positive lead at the generator output bat terminal then remove the positive lead before loosening the generator's front and rear braces from the Intake Manifold to extract the generator. Place the generator on the generator bracket before using the generator output bat terminal nut to connect the battery positive lead and tighten it to 20 n.m (15 lb ft). Hand start the generator before tightening its front then rear brace nuts at the engine Intake Manifold followed by tightening the rear brace stud onto the generator. The generator bracket should receive generator bolts that must be tightened to 50 n.m (37 lb ft). Follow these torque specifications when tightening nut connections: engine Intake Manifold front and rear generator brace nuts use 25 n.m (18 lb ft), then tighten the generator rear brace stud to the generator using 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Last step involves placing the Drive Belt onto the generator while you reconnect the negative Battery Cable to its terminal.
