Vaz 21213 - Alternator Removal and Refitting

- use special wrench (of 10 mm square size) for 5 mm square
hole and turn the bracket clockwise to remove spring 6;
- tighten bolt 4;
- remove the cambelt.
Refitting is the reversal of the removal procedure:
- make sure the camshaft and fuel pump pulleys are in the
position required and secured, idler pulley 7 (Fig.9-22) and ten-
sioner 3 rotate freely, while plunger 1 and spring 6 are free with-
in the tensioner housing;
- refit the belt providing it is taut;
- refit the timing belt over the pulleys in the following order:
crankshaft pulley, idler pulley 7, fuel pump pulley, camshaft pul-
ley, tensioner pulley, water pump;
- slacken bolt 4 to release the tensioner;
- remove the retaining bolts and flywheel retainer;
- tighten bolt 4 and nut 2;
- rotate the crankshaft two turns clockwise.
Tension - checking:
- tighten the retaining bolts and refit the flywheel retainer;
- loosen bolt 4 and nut 2 to spread tension over the belt;
- tighten bolt 4 and nut 2 to 18 N•m;
- refit the crankshaft pulley;
- coat bolt 20 with Loctite 243;
- fix the flywheel with tool OUT0000049;
- refit the pulley retaining bolt, torque to 40 N•m, turn to fur-
ther 60°;
- refit bottom cover 3 (Fig.9-21), tighten bolts 1 to 15 N•m;
- refit cover 5, tighten bolts 4 to 15 N•m;
- tighten right-hand cover 6 bolt 7 to 10 N•m.
Note. When you fail to refit any securing bolt or a retainer,
repeat the complete procedure for the cambelt refitting.
