5. If the rear bearing was removed, press a new bearing into place from inside the housing. Apply
pressure to the outer race only. Install dust cover over bearing end of housing.
6. Install radio suppressor capacitor in rear housing and install retainer screw.
7. Install springs and brushes into brush holder. Install short length of.040 wire through brush holder to
retain brushes in place. Wire should be long enough to extend through hole in housing for removal after
housings are assembled.
8. Install two retainer screws in brush assembly and housing. Hold down on brush assembly while
tightening screws, to prevent breaking brush assembly attachment brackets.
9. Install insulator on "BAT" post of rectifier assembly and install insulators (2) in place in the rear
housing for mounting bolts in positive "BAT" side of rectifier.
10. Carefully install rectifier and stator into rear housing, assure insulators are in place. Install "BAT"
post insulator and nut and "GRD" post retainer nut, finger tight.
11. Install the 4 rectifier retainer bolts (check insulators on positive side) finger tight, and install
suppression capacitor lead to rectifier and tighten screw.
12. Tighten "BAT" and "GRD" retainer nuts then 4 rectifier retainer bolts.
13. If stator has been separated from the rectifier, install the 3 stator winding leads to rectifier posts and
solder with 100 watt iron (to prevent overheating of connection) and resin core solder. Solder the stator
terminal lead to diode assembly.
14. Position the front and rear housings together, align scribe marks on housings and stator, and install
four thru-bolts in housings. Alternately tighten each thru-bolt around alternator until a preliminary torque of
15 to 25 inch-pounds is reached for each bolt. Final torque each thru-bolt alternately around the alternator
until each bolt is torqued 45 to 60 inch-pounds.
15. Spin pulley to ensure that alternator is free of binding or noise.
