DISASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> FRONT BRACKET REMOVAL

AK703439

CAUTION

Do not insert the screwdriver blades too deep. 
Doing so could damage the stator coil.
Insert the blades of screwdrivers between the front 
bracket and stator core, and pry and separate them 
with the screwdrivers.

<<B>> ALTERNATOR PULLEY REMOVAL

AK400387

CAUTION

Perform operation carefully not to damage the 
rotor.
Clamp the rotor in a vise with the pulley facing up to 
remove the pulley.

assembly

AB

CAUTION

• Use care that no undue force is exerted to 

lads of diodes.

• Check that the heat from the soldering iron is 

not transmitted to the diode for a long time.

1. Use a soldering iron (180 to 250 W) to unsolder 

the stator. This work should complete within 
approximately four seconds to prevent heat from 
transferring to the diode.

2. When removing the rectifier from the regulator 

assembly, unsoldered on the rectifier.

AD

After installing the regulator assembly, insert a piece 
of wire through the hole in the rear bracket while 
pressing the brush to keep the brush against move-
ment.

NOTE: Unless inserting the wire to fix the brush, the 
rotor installation is difficult.
