INA Decoupler
- Disconnect negative battery cable.
- Remove generator and accessory drive belt. Refer to GENERATOR Removal.
- Position Special Tool #8823 (VM.1048) into decoupler. See Fig 1.
- Determine if end of generator shaft is hex shaped or is splined. See Fig 2 and Fig 3. If hex is used, insert a 10MM deep socket into tool #8823 (VM.1048). See Fig 4. If splined, insert a 5/16" 6-point hex driver, or a 10MM 12-point triple square driver into tool #8823 (VM.1048). See Fig 5.
- The generator shaft uses conventional right-hand threads to attach decoupler. To break decoupler loose from generator threads, rotate end of tool clockwise. See Fig 4 or Fig 5.
- After breaking loose with tool, unthread decoupler by hand from generator.
