- Remove the 4 housing bolts. See Fig 1 .
- Insert a flat screwdriver between front housing and stator core, pry downward. See Fig 2 . The rear housing may be difficult to remove because a ring is used to lock the outer race of the rear bearing. If necessary, heat the rear bearing area with a 200 watt soldering iron. See Fig 3 .
- Secure rotor in a vise with pulley side up. Remove the pulley nut. See Fig 4 . Remove spring washer, pulley, and spacer. Remove generator front housing and 2 seals. Remove rotor from vise.
- Remove brush holder screws, rectifier screws, and nut from the "B" terminal. Remove stator assembly from rear bracket and remove slinger from brush holder.
- When stator is to be removed, unsolder the 3 stator leads to the main diodes on the rectifier. See Fig 5 .
- When separating rectifier from brush holder, unsolder the 2 plates soldered to the rectifier. See Fig 5 .
CAUTION:
DO NOT insert screwdriver(s) too deeply. If inserted too deep, damage to stator coil may occur. When heating rear bearing, DO NOT use a heat gun to prevent damage to the diode assembly.
CAUTION:
Use care not to damage rotor when securing in vise.
CAUTION:
When soldering or unsoldering, make sure that heat from soldering iron is not transmitted to the diodes for a long period. Do not exert excessive force on the leads of the diodes.
