Alternator & Regulator: Overhaul: Disassembly

  1. After removing through bolts, insert screwdriver between front housing and stator to separate.
  2. Hold the rotor in a soft jawed vice. Remove pulley nut, pulley, fan, and spacer. Remove rotor drive end housing by lightly tapping end housing with a soft mallet.
  3. To separate stator from diode end housing, unsolder 3 negative diode leads and connections between diodes. Hold the stator lead with a needle nose plier to prevent rectifier from overheating.
  4. Remove condenser from the "B" terminal. Unsolder the "L" and "B" terminal from the rectifier assembly. Lift out rectifier assembly and brush holder.
