Dismantling
1 Remove the belt pulley, using a nut runner (22 mm socket).
Model year 1987 and later, chassis numbers AH2008687, AH3006972 and AH701 3655, use a 16 mm socket.
2 Remove the voltage regulator.
3 Mark the positions of the drive end bracket and slip-ring end bracket relative to the stator ring.
4 Separate the stator and slip-ring end bracket from the drive end bracket and armature.
5 Remove the insulating block.
6 Undo the 3 rectifier unit retaining bolts and separate the unit from the slip-ring end bracket.
7 Carefully unsolder the stator leads from the rectifier unit.


Important: Work quickly to avoid heating the diodes unnecessarily.


8 Place the drive end bracket on a suitable surface and carefully press out the armature.


Important: To avoid damage, prevent the armature from falling as it is pressed out of the end bracket.


9 Remove the screws securing the bearing retaining plate. Remove the plate.
10 Remove the ball bearing on the slip-ring side, using a puller.
