Fig. 65 - Rotating The Crankshaft
NOTE
: Rotate the crankshaft completely around
at least one turn to ensure there are no
obstructions within the rotor/stator assembly
before the removal process.
6. Turn the generator fan by rotating the crankshaft
so there is enough clearance to get a wrench on
the stator retention nuts.

7. Remove all four nuts (Fig. 66).
8. Using a suitable lifting device, raise the generator
by its lifting lug until there is adequate clearance
to insert a block of wood under the support straps
of the engine adaptor.
