Kia Carens. Manual — part 10

7. Adjust belt tension by rotating adjustment bolt.

Allowable deflection :
New belt : 0.23~0.31in (6~8mm)
Old belt : 0.28~0.35in (7~9mm)

8. Tighten tensioner bolt.

Tighten tensioner bolt to : 14~19lb-ft (19~26N·m)

9. Tighten pivot bolt and bracket bolt.

Tighten pivot and bracket bolt to : 28~38lb-ft (38~51N·m)

10. Connect generator L and S terminal connectors.

11. Connect B terminal lead.

12. Install and tighten B terminal nut.

13. Close B terminal nut cover.

14. Install air intake inlet pipe and tighten end clamp.

15. Connect top hose to air intake inlet pipe.

16. Install front air intake inlet pipe bolts.

17. Connect negative battery cable.

1) Be sure battery connections are not reversed. This will damage rectifier.
2) Do not use highvoltage testers, such as a megger. They will damage the rectifier.
3) Remember that battery voltage is always applied to alternator B terminal.
4) Do not ground L terminal while engine is running.
5) Do not start engine while L and S terminals are disconnected from generator.

DISASSEMBLY

Insert protective material in the jaws of the vise.

1. Remove four cap screws from rear housing.

2. Use a 200-watt soldering iron to heat the rear of bearing box to allow the bearing to be removed from rear

housing.

If bearing box is not heated, bearing cannot be pulled out of rear housing. The rear bearing and rear
housing fit together very tightly.

3. Use a flat-blade screwdrive to separate front housing from stator.

• Be careful not to lose the stopper spring that fits around the rear bearing.
• Insert protective material in the jaw of the vise.

4. Place rotor in a vise and loosen locknut, then disassemble pulley, rotor and front housing.

5. If necessary, remove front bearing using a socket and a hand press or vise.

6. Remove rear bearing with a bearing puller.

7. Remove B terminal nut and insulating bushing.

8. Remove five screws holding the rectifier and brush holder.

9. Separate rear bracket and stator.

10. Use a soldering iron to remove solder from rectifier and stator leads and then remove IC regulator.

Disconnect quickly. If soldering iron is used for more than 5 seconds, rectifier may be damaged by
heat.

11. Replace brushes. Remove solder from pigtail and then remove brush.

INSPECTION

1. Rotor

(1) Measure resistance between slip rings with a ohmmeter. If it is not within standard resistance, replace

rotor.

Standard resistance : 3.5~4.5Ω

(2) Check for continuity between slip ring and core with a circuil tester. Replace rotor if there is continuity.

(3) If slip ring surface is rough, smooth with a lathe or fine sandpaper.

2. Stator

(1) Check for continuity between stator coil leads with a circuit tester.

(2) Replace stator if there is no continuity.
