Alternators - DELCO-REMY With Integral Regulator: Overhaul: Disassembly

  1. Hold alternator in a vise, clamping mounting flange lengthwise. Remove through bolts and separate slip ring end frame and stator assembly from drive end and rotor assembly by prying apart with a screwdriver at stator slots.
    NOTE: Scribe marks will help relocate parts during reassembly.
  2. Place a piece of tape over slip ring end frame bearing to prevent entry of dirt. At this point brushes may drop onto rotor shaft and become contaminated with bearing lubricant, clean brushes as soon as possible with a suitable cleaner (acetone) to keep them from becoming grease soaked.
  3. Remove stator lead attaching nuts and separate stator from end frame. Remove screw attaching diode trio to brush holder and remove diode trio from end frame. Remove rectifier bridge attaching screw and "BAT" terminal screw, and disconnect capacitor lead. Remove rectifier bridge from end frame. Remove brush holder and regulator. Note that two insulators are assembled over top of brush retaining clips, and that the two screws have special insulating sleeves.
  4. Remove capacitor from end frame. Remove slip ring end frame bearing if necessary. Remove pulley nut by holding shaft with an Allen wrench. Remove pulley. Remove rotor and spacers from drive end frame assembly. If necessary remove drive end frame bearing retainer plate, then gasket and bearing.
