BEARING REMOVAL
1. Place the wedge attachment tool (1) (CC P/N 1012812) between the bearing and the armature. Make sure the
wedge attachment tool is supporting the inner race of the bearing. If a press is not available, secure a bearing
puller (2) (CC P/N 1012811) to the wedge attachment tool and pull the bearing off of the end of the armature
shaft. Support the armature so that it will not drop when the bearing is removed (Figure 20-8, Page 20-6).
2. Discard the bearings.
3. Slide the bearing retainer (32) off of the output end of the shaft (Figure 20-6, Page 20-5).
FIELD COIL REMOVAL
1. Remove the retaining nut from each field coil terminal and slide the insulator out of the slots in the housing.
Remove the four pole piece screws from the housing. Remove the four pole pieces from inside the housing.
Remove the field coils from the inside of the housing (Figure 20-9, Page 20-7). See following NOTE.
NOTE: Do not remove the insulators or the field coils unless an electrical test indicates that it is necessary (Figure
20-9, Page 20-7). See Starter/Generator (Starter Function) on page 18-32.
VISUAL INSPECTION OF ARMATURE
Obvious defects can be seen by examining the armature. If an armature has frayed or charred insulation, broken wires
or thrown solder, it is obvious without testing that it should be replaced. Faults seen during the visual inspection can aid
in diagnosing the original cause of the failure. Items to look for are listed below.
• Burned, charred, or cracked insulation
• Improperly cured varnish
• Thrown solder
• Flared armature windings
• Worn, burned, or glazed commutator
• Loose or raised commutator bars
• Bruised or damaged armature core laminations
