[JosephineMarie]

Steps to replace the carbon brushes of a car generator: 1. Unplug the generator connector; a flat-head screwdriver can be used to remove the plug. 2. Remove the fixed nut of the cable connecting the generator to the battery. 3. Loosen the generator belt. 4. Remove the guide wheel after loosening the belt, and unscrew the generator fixing bolts. 5. Take off the generator and remove the regulator. 6. Saw off the solder joint at the tail of the carbon brush to remove the old carbon brush. 7. Install the new carbon brush and ensure the original spring is properly positioned. The generator is a very important component in the car. When the car engine is not started, the battery powers the electronic devices inside the car. Once the engine is started, the generator takes over the power supply for the car's electronic devices instead of the battery. During routine maintenance of the generator, it is essential not only to check the condition of the generator but also to inspect the state of the generator belt. If the generator belt breaks while driving, it can be very dangerous.
