Alternator & Regulator: Overhaul: Disassembly

  1. Place a soldering iron (200 watt) against rear bearing for 3-4 minutes to heat cover to 122-140° F (50-60° C). Carefully separate front bracket and rotor from rear cover and stator. Place rotor in vise and remove pulley nut, pulley and front bracket.
  2. Use a hand press or vise to replace front bearing. Use a bearing puller to remove rear bearing. Remove "B" terminal nut and bushing from rear cover. Remove screws from brush holder and rectifier. Separate rear bracket and stator. When unsoldering rectifier and stator leads disconnect as quickly as possible (5 seconds maximum), to avoid damage to rectifier.
