Why do my charge and brake lights keep coming on at the same time? It's alternator brush time! 
Should take about an hour, give or take your bannana rating
This is for a 22RE, but the 3VZE will be about the same.
Step one: Disconnect battery!!!!!! We don't need to learn how to weld while doing this project....
Remove the alt from the vehicle.... on the 22R/RE it will come out the bottom with some dificulty... I was ablt to get mine out without draining the coolant and removing the lower rad hose, because the lower coolant tube that is attached to the block near the engine mount was not bolted on... it barely slipped out, but that's all you need.
On the 3VZE I think it comes out the top, but it's been a while since I did that one.
One it's out, you need to remove the end cover, then pull out the brush holder (See blue circled screws) on my 89 22RE it was in an orange rubber thing.
