Generators & Regulators: Overhaul: Generator: Disassembly
- Remove the 4 through bolts. See Figure . Insert a flat screwdriver between the front bracket and stator core, and pry downward. Remove rear cover.
- Place rotor into a vise with pulley side up and loosen lock nut. Disassemble pulley nut spring washer, pulley and spacer. Remove front bracket and 2 seals. Remove rotor from vise.
- Remove screws holding rectifier, brush holder and the nut from the "B" terminal. Separate rear bracket and stator.
- Detach slinger from the brush holder. Before the stator is removed, unsolder the 3 stator leads to the main diodes on the rectifier.
- When separating the rectifier from the brush holder, unsolder the 2 plates soldered to the rectifier.
CAUTION:
Do not insert screwdriver too far, as damage to stator coil may occur. Rear cover may be hard to remove due to a ring which is used to lock outer race of rear bearing. To assist in removal of rear cover, heat just the bearing box section with a 200-watt soldering iron. Do not use a heat gun, as damage may occur to diode assembly.
