Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Disassembly




1. Remove the four through bolts. Then insert the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the gap between the stator core and front bracket. Pry then apart to disassemble.




2. Hold rotor with a vise and remove pulley nut.




CAUTION: When holding rotor with vise, insert aluminum plates or wood pieces on the contact surfaces of the vise to prevent rotor from damage.




3. Unsolder connection between rectifier and stator coil to remove stator coil.

CAUTION: Finish the work rapidly (less than three seconds) because the rectifier cannot withstand heat very well.




4. Remove screws which secure IC regulator to rear cover, and unsolder connection between IC regulator and rectifier to remove IC regulator.




5. Remove the brushes by unsoldering at the pigtails.




6. Remove the nut and insulating bushing at terminal B. Remove rectifier.
