Alternator Overhaul (cont'd)
16. Support the stator housing in a vise, and drive out
the front bearing with a brass drift (A) and hammer.
17. With a hammer and the special tools, install a new
front bearing in the stator housing.

Rectifier Test
18. Check for continuity in each direction, between the
B terminal (A) and P terminals (B), and between the
E terminal (C) and P terminals (B) of each diode pair.
All diodes should have continuity in only one
A
direction. Because the rectifier diodes are designed
to allow current to pass in one direction, and the
rectifier is made up of eight diodes (four pairs), you
must test each diode in both directions for
continuity with an ohmmeter that has diode
checking capability: a total of 16 checks.
• If any diode failed, replace the rectifier assembly.
(Diodes are not available separately.)
• If all the diodes are OK, go to step 19.
