Caution! Do not attempt to strike the alternator rotor itself. Striking the rotor can cause the magnets to lose their magnetism.
Installation
Using a cleaning fluid, clean off any oil or dirt on the following portions and dry them with a clean cloth.
- [A] Crankshaft Tapered Portion
- [B] Alternator Rotor Tapered Portion
Apply a thin coat of molybdenum disulfide grease to the crankshaft [С].

Note. Confirm the alternator rotor fit or not to the crankshaft before tightening it with specified torque.
Install the rotor and tighten it with 70 N·m (7 kg·m, 52 ft·lb) of torque.
Remove the washer and rotor bolt.
Check the tightening torque with rotor puller.
★ If the rotor is not pulled out with 20 N·m (2 kg·m, 15 ft·lb) of drawing torque, it is installed correctly.
★ If the rotor is pulled out with under 20 N·m (2 kg·m, 15 ft·lb) of drawing torque, clean off any oil dirt or flaw of the crankshaft and rotor tapered portion, and dry them with a clean cloth. Then, confirm that it is not pulled out with above torque.
Tighten the alternator rotor bolt while holding the alternator rotor steady with the flywheel holder.
