To loosen the pulley locknut, use 10 mm and 22 mm
wrenches. lf necessary, use an impact wrench.

RectifierTest
DENSO:
NOTE: The diodes are designed to allow current to pass
in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direc-
tion. Each diode must be tested tor continuity in both
directions with an ohmmeter that has diode checking
capability. Since the alternator rectifier is made up ot
eight diodes (four pairs), there are a total of 16 checks.
'1. Check for continuity in each direction between the
B and P terminals, and between the E (ground) and
P terminals of each diode pair. All diodes should have
continuity in only one direction.
lf any of the eight diodes fails, replace the recti{ier
assembly. iDiodes are not available separately.)

holder by removing its two screws.
Measure the length of the brushes with a vernier
caliper.

Check that there is no continuity between the slip
rings and the rotor or rotor shaft.
lf the rotor fails either continuity check, replace the
alternator.

Reetifier Removal (cont'd)
MITSUBISHI:
5. Separate the rear housing from the stator/rectifier
assembly by removing the four screws and the ter-
minal nut.
6.
1.
Unsolder the rectifier from the stator leads.
. To avoid damaging the diodes with heat, pinch
the stator leads between pliers to carry heat off,
and apply the soldering iron only long enough to
separate the leads from the rectifier.
. Use a 100 W soldering iron.
Installthe new rectifier in the reverse order of removal.
. Apply the soldering iron only long enough to
ensure a good connection so the heat will not
damage the diodes.
. Use only a rgsin core type solder or solder joints
will cor.ode.
RectifierTest
NOTE: The diodes are designed to allow current to pass
in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direc-
tion. Since the alternator rectifier is made up of nine
diodes, each diode must be tested for continuity in both
directions with an ohmmeter that has diode checkino
capability; a total of 22 checks.
1. Check for continuity in each direction between- the B and P terminals.- the B' and P terminals,- E (ground) and the P terminals.
All diodes should have continuity in only one direc-
uon.
2.lf any of the diodes fails, replace the rectifier assem-

. lf resistance does not meet the specification,
replace the alternator.
SLIP RII{GS
Check that there is no continuity between the slip

1. Pull off the rear bearing.
Make sure the tips of the bearing puller jaws are
thin enough to fit between the bearing and the
slip rings.
Do not reuse the bearing.

1.Push the brushes in, then insert a pin or drill bit(about 1.8 mm diameter)to hold them there.
ARUSHES
Heat the rear bearing seat in the rear housing as
described on page 23-12. After heating, continue
immediately with assembling before the rear bear-ing seat cools completely.
Put the rear housing/stator assembly and drive-end
housing/rotor assembly together, tighten the four
through bolts and pull out the pin.
