How to remove and install an alternator on Chevrolet Metro?

Detach the cable from the negative terminal of the battery and remove the electrical connectors from the alternator. Many new and rebuilt alternators may not come with a pulley, so if purchasing one, check the shop's policy regarding pulleys, as some may offer this service for free. If you need to switch the pulley yourself, loosen the pulley bolts before removing the drivebelt. Next, loosen the alternator adjustment bolt and raise the vehicle to loosen the pivot bolt while supporting the alternator. Detach the drivebelt, then remove the adjustment and pivot bolts to separate the alternator from the engine. If necessary, remove the pulley. When replacing the alternator, take the old one to ensure the new or rebuilt unit matches in appearance, terminal configuration, and identification numbers. If needed, install the pulley on the new or rebuilt alternator, and then proceed with installation in reverse order of removal. After installation, adjust the drive belt tension and check the charging voltage to verify proper operation of the alternator.

Chevrolet Metro Alternator

The Chevrolet Metro requires an alternator as a function of charging the vehicle battery besides being a mobile electrical generator in as much as the automobile is in motion. It works through the nature of transforming mechanical energy provided by the vehicle's engine into electrical energy in the form of AC that is further converted into DC to recharge the battery and power the components. The structure of Chevrolet Metro alternator usually comprises two-component cast aluminium case containing a stator, as well as a rotor. The rotor which is connected to the engine by a belt produces a magnetic field thus generating voltage in the stator coils. In the course of the years, varieties of the alternators can have been used on the Chevrolet Metro, which may have incorporated different methods of excitation as well as the voltage regulation mechanisms with regard to the electrical load of the vehicle in question. For those with higher electrical demand they can equip high output alternators for custom or part equipped vehicles.

Each OEM Chevrolet Metro Alternator we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
