Disassembly
NOTE: Refer to the Exploded View if needed during this procedure.
1. Heat Shield and Bracket - Remove
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 38(19).png)
2. Terminal Insulator - Remove
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 39(19).png)
3. Rear Housing/Stator Assembly and Drive-End Housing/Rotor Assembly -
Separate
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 40(19).png)
- Remove the four through bolts.
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 41(19).png)
- Heat the rear bearing seat with a heat gun for about 5 minutes
(122-140ºF (50-60ºC) ).
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 42(19).png)
- Separate the rear housing from the drive-end housing by inserting a
flat-tip
screwdriver into the openings and prying them apart.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage
the stator with the tip of the screwdriver.
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 43(19).png)
- Separate the rear housing/the stator assembly (A) and the drive-end
housing/the rotor assembly (B).
4. Stator - Remove
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 44(19).png)
5. Stator - Inspect
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 45(18).png)
- Check for continuity between each lead (A). If there is no continuity,
replace the stator
- Check for continuity between each lead and the coil core (B). If there
is continuity, replace the stator.
6. Voltage Regulator/Brush Holder Assembly - Remove
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 46(18).png)
7. Brush - Inspect
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 47(18).png)
- Measure the length of both brushes with a vernier caliper. If either
brush is
shorter than the service limit, replace the brushes, go to step 2.
Standard (New): 23 mm (0.91 in)
Service Limit: 5 mm (0.20 in)
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 48(18).png)
- Unsolder the brush leads from the voltage regulator/brush holder
assembly
with a 100 W soldering iron (A), then replace the brushes.
8. Rectifier - Remove
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 49(17).png)
9. Rectifier - Inspect
Stator side
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 50(17).png)
Rear housing side
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 51(17).png)
- Check for continuity in each direction, between the B terminal and P
terminals,
and between the E terminal and P terminals of each diode pair. All diodes
should
have continuity in only one direction. Because the rectifier diodes are
designed to
allow current to pass in one direction, and the rectifier is made up of six
diodes (six
pairs), you must test each diode in both directions for continuity with an
ohmmeter
that has diode checking capability: a total of 24 checks. If any diode
fails, replace
the rectifier assembly. (Diodes are not available separately.)
10.Pulley - Remove
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 52(17).png)
- Clamp the rotor in a soft-jawed vise
- Remove the pulley nut, then remove the pulley.
11.Rotor - Remove
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 53(16).png)
- Remove the rotor using a puller as shown
- Inspect the rotor shaft for scoring, and inspect the bearing journal
surface in the
drive-end housing for seizure marks.
NOTE : If either the rotor or drive-end housing
is damaged, replace the alternator.
12.Rotor Slip Ring - Test
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 54(16).png)
- Check for continuity between the slip rings (A):
- If there is continuity, go to step 2.
- If there is no continuity, replace the rotor assembly.
- Check for continuity between each slip ring and the rotor (B) and
the rotor shaft (C):
- If there is no continuity, replace the rear housing assembly.
- If there is continuity, replace the rotor assembly.
13.Rear Bearing - Remove
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 55(16).png)
- Remove the rear bearing using the puller as shown.
14.Front Bearing - Remove
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 56(17).png)
- Remove the front bearing retainer.
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 57(17).png)
- Drive out the front bearing with a brass drift and a
hammer.
Reassembly
NOTE: Refer to the Exploded View if needed during this procedure.
1. Front Bearing - Install
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 58(16).png)
- Install a new front bearing in the drive-end housing with a hammer, the
driver handle, 15 x 135L, and the attachment, 42 x 47 mm.
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 59(17).png)
- Install the front bearing retainer.
2. Rear Bearing - Install
![Charging System - Overhaul, Testing & Troubleshooting](images/books/1097/index 60(16).png)
- Use a hand press to install a new rear bearing. Apply pressure only on
the inner race to avoid damaging the bearing.
