• Q: How to replace the alternator bracket on 2010 Cadillac STS?

  A: The first step for generator bracket installation is to turn off the ignition and extract the generator (LH2 /AWD, LLT, LH2). Start by removing the lower bolt securing the coolant inlet pipe to the generator bracket then detach the belt tensioner. Begin the replacement process by first removing the bolts that secure the generator bracket followed by removal of the bracket itself. Follow these installation steps by first attaching the generator bracket followed by its bolts then tightening the generator bracket bolts (1, 2) to 50 nm (37 lb ft) and the generator bracket bolt to 23 nm (17 lb ft). Reinstall the belt tensioner followed by the coolant inlet pipe lower bolt from the generator bracket before installing the generator (LH2 /AWD, LLT, LH2).
