NOTE: Make sure that t h e installer support adapt-
e r fits square around the rectifier inner boss and
that pressure is applied o n t h e outer rim of the rec-
tifier.
CAUTION:
DO
N O T USE a hammer t o start the
rectifier i n t o its bore in the end shield.
DO
N O T
H A M M E R OR SHOCK t h e rectifier in any manner
as this w i l l fracture the
thin
silicon wafer in the
rectifier causing complete rectifier failure.
(4) Clean the leads and mate the stator lead with
the rectifier wire and bend the loop snugly around
the stator lead to provide a good electrical and me-
chanical connection. Solder the wires with resin core
solder. Hold the rectifier lead wire with pliers just be-
low the joint while soldering, Fig. 36. The pliers will
absorb the heat from soldering and protect the rec-
tifier.
NOTE: A f t e r soldering, quickly cool t h e soldered

(5) After soldering, the stator leads must be pushed
down into the slots that are cast into the end shield
and cemented with Cement Part Number 2299314 to
protect the leads against possible interference with
the rotor fans. Test each replacement rectifier to make
certain the rectifier was not damaged by the soldering
or pressing operations.
(6) Support the end shield on Tool C-3925
so
that
the notches in the support tool will clean the raised
section of the heat sink and press the bearing into
position with Tool SP-3381 (Fig. 37).
NOTE: New bearings are pre-lubricated, addition-
a l lubrication is not required.
(7) Insert the drive end bearing in the drive end
shield and install the bearing retainer plate to hold
the bearing in place.
