Figure 5.10 Drive Gear - Carrier RG2059 Series Operation And Service

13. Remove the bolt/washer (1) that secures the ground wire to the generator.
14. Back off (about 1"), but do not remove the engine shock mount bolts. This will allow the engine/generator to
be slightly lifted off of the unit frame.
The generator/engine must be slightly lifted off of the unit frame in order to provide enough
clearance for the generator support plate to slide back, away from the engine.
15. Using lifting lugs on the top of the generator, lift the generator/engine several inches so that the generator
support plate will clear the unit frame allowing the entire generator assembly to be removed.
16. Place several support beams under the engine, and then lower the generator/engine onto the beams. Make
sure that the generator support plate is still lifted high enough to allow the generator assembly to be moved
back, away from the engine.
17. Starting with the lower bolts, remove the remaining bolts/washers (10) that secure the generator to the
engine.
Although the generator drive gear and fly wheel adapter plate will normally keep the generator
coupled to the engine, even without the bolts, it is safest to remove the lower generator bolts
first, in case the generator shifts and falls during bolt removal.
18. Lift the generator assembly (generator & support plate) up, and away from the engine, lower it onto a stable
work surface.
Inspect the generator drive gear, bolt, and key as they will have to be removed from the old
generator and installed onto the new generator; replace these components if they are worn or
damaged.
19. Remove the generator drive gear bolt/washer.
20. Use a gear puller to remove the drive gear and key from the generator drive shaft.
