1. Remove the four through bolts.

2. Heat the rear bearing seat with a heat gun for about 5
minutes (122-140 °F (50-60 °C)).

3. Separate the rear housing from the drive-end housing by


inserting a flat-tip screwdriver into the openings and prying
them apart.

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the stator with the tip of


the screwdriver.

4. Separate the rear housing (A) and the drive-end housing

5. Stator - Remove

Remove the stator.

6. Stator - Inspect

1. Check for continuity between each lead (A).

If there is no continuity, replace the stator.

2. Check for continuity between each lead and the coil core
(B).

If there is continuity, replace the stator.

7. Voltage Regulator/Brush Holder Assembly - Remove

Remove the voltage regulator/brush holder assembly (A).

8. Brush - Inspect

1. Check the service limit line (A) of both brushes:

If the service limit line of either brush is not visible due


to brush wear, replace the brushes.
If the brush length is OK, go to step 2

2. Remove the cover (A).

3. Unsolder the brush leads from the voltage regulator/brush


holder assembly with a 100 W soldering iron (B), then
replace the brushes.

9. Rectifier - Remove

Remove the rectifier.

10.Rectifier - Inspect

Stator side Check for continuity in each direction, between the B terminal
and P terminals, and between the E terminal and P terminals
of each diode pair. All diodes should have continuity in only
one direction. Because the rectifier diodes are designed to
allow current to pass in one direction, and the rectifier is made
up of six diodes (six pairs), you must test each diode in both
directions for continuity with an ohmmeter that has diode
checking capability: a total of 24 checks.

If any diode fails, replace the rectifier assembly. (Diodes are


not available separately.)

11. Rotor - Remove

1. Remove the rotor.

2. Inspect the rotor shaft for scoring, and inspect the bearing
journal surface in the drive-end housing for seizure marks.

NOTE: If either the rotor or drive-end housing is damaged,


replace the alternator.

If there is continuity, go to step 2.


2. Check for continuity
If there between
is no continuity, each slip
replace the ring

assembly.
(B) and the rotor shaft (C).

If there is continuity, replace the rotor assembly.


If there is no continuity, replace the rear housing
assembly.
If there is continuity, replace the rotor assembly.

13.Rear Bearing - Remove

2. Drive out the front bearing with a brass drift and a hammer.

NOTE: Refer to the Exploded View if needed during this procedure.

1. Front Bearing - Install

1. Use a hand press to install a new front bearing (A) in the


drive-end housing, with the driver handle, 15 x 135L, and
the attachment, 42 x 47 mm.
