Charging Systems: Alternators: Overhaul: Reassembly

Reassemble alternator by reversing disassembly procedure, noting the following points:

1. When soldering diode terminals use care not to overheat diodes.
2. When installing rotor to rear housing, push up each of the brushes into the holder and insert a pin in brush lifting hole in rear housing. After installing rotor, pull out pin to permit brushes to seat on slip rings.
3. Tighten pulley locknut to 36-51 ft. lbs. (5-6.5 mkg) torque.
4. After assembly, rotate pulley and check that rotor is free of any interference.
