Alternator - MOTOROLA W/Integral Regulator: Overhaul: Disassembly

  1. Remove nut, lock washer, and connector blade from output terminal (B+). Remove set screw and washer, securing capacitor to housing. Separate connector blade and remove capacitor.
  2. Remove rear cover. Identify wiring colors. Remove regulator. Remove brush holder. Clamp pulley, and remove pulley nut. Remove small washer, fan and large washer from spindle. Remove Woodruff key and spacer.
  3. Remove 4 through bolts, washers and square nuts. Separate front and rear housings. If separation is difficult, place spindle in protected jaws of vise. Using care not to damage stator and windings, remove rear housing, stator and diode bridge. Rear bearing will remain with spindle.
  4. Remove spindle from vise. Remove front housing and spacer. Remove bearings, if necessary. Mark position of stator ring in rear housing to ensure proper reassembly.
  5. To avoid overheating diodes, rapidly unsolder leads of 3-phase windings and Red D+ lead from diode bridge. Use long-nosed pliers to grip each terminal as wire is unsoldered.
  6. Remove diode bridge and washers. Lift housing from stator, detach 2 terminals from housing, and remove D+ lead.
