PIPER CHEROKEE SIX SERVICE MANUAL
10-22. INSTALLING GREASE RETAINER. If the solder connection where the rotor field
coil lead is soldered to the insulated brush ring lug has a sharp point or if the blob of solder
is excessive, smooth with a scraper or file before installing the grease retainer insulator. If
smooth, place fiber insulator on shaft and press the retainer (cupped side to end of shaft) on
the shaft with tool C-3921 in an arbor press.
10-23. INSTALLING DRIVE END BEARING. Insert the sealed drive end bearing in the
drive end shield and install the bearing retainer. Install the washers and nuts to hold the
bearing in place on all early production models. Snap the spring steel retainer fingers in
place on all later production models.
If the rotor and its components require no service, position the beanng and the drive
end shield assembly on the rotor shaft and while supporting the parts on the end of the
rotor shaft, press the bearing and end shield assembly in position on the rotor shaft using an
arbor press and tool C-3769.
CAUTION
Make sure that the bearing is installed squarely at the start;
otherwise, damage to the bearing will result. Press the bearing
on the rotor shaft until the bearing contacts the shoulder on
the rotor shaft.
10-24. INSTALLING PULLEY. Install pulley on the rotor shaft using an arbor press
before the rectifier end shield is assembled to the drive end shield.
WARNING
Do not press pulley on with a vise. Use a press.
The shaft must be the support while the pulley is pressed on with the pressure being
applied to the pulley hub.
NOTE
Do not exceed 6800 pounds pressure. Press the pulley on the
rotor shaft until the pulley contacts the inner face of the
drive end bearing.
