3. Generator
A: REMOVAL
1) Remove the collector cover.
2) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
3) Disconnect the connector and terminal from
generator.
4) Remove the V-belts. REMOVAL, V-belt.>
5) Remove the bolts which install the generator
onto bracket.
B: INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Tightening torque:
25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.1 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
Check and adjust the V-belt tension.

C: DISASSEMBLY
1) Remove the four through-bolts.
2) Heat the portion (A) of rear cover to 50°C
(122°F) with a heater drier.
3) Then insert the tip of a flat tip screwdriver into the
gap between stator core and front cover. Pry them
apart to disassemble.
4) Hold the rotor with a vise and remove pulley nut.

CAUTION:
When holding the rotor with a vise, place alumi-
num plates or wooden pieces on the vise jaws
to prevent rotor from damage.
5) Remove the ball bearing as follows.
(1) Remove the bolt, and then remove the bear-
ing retainer.
(2) Firmly install an appropriate tool (such as a
fit socket wrench) to bearing inner race.
(3) Push the ball bearing off the front cover us-
ing a press.
6) Remove the bearing from rotor using a bearing
puller.
7) Separate the connection between rectifier and
stator coil to remove stator coil.
CAUTION:
Do not allow a 180 — 270 W soldering iron to
contact the terminals for more than 5 seconds
at once because the rectifier cannot withstand
so much heat.
8) Remove the IC regulator as follows.
(1) Remove the screws which secure IC regula-
tor to rear cover.

D: ASSEMBLY
Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly.
1) Pulling up brush
Before assembling, press the brush down into
brush holder, and then fix them in that position by
passing a [1 mm (0.08 in) dia. 40 to 50 mm (1.6 to
2.0 in) long] wire through the hole as shown in the
figure.
CAUTION:
Be sure to remove the wire after reassembly.
2) Install the ball bearing.
(1) Set the ball bearing on the front cover, and
then securely install an appropriate tool (such
as a fit socket wrench) to the bearing outer race.
(2) Press the ball bearing into the specified po-
sition using a press.
(3) Install the bearing retainer.
3) Press the bearing (rear side) into the rotor shaft
using a press to install.
4) Heat the bearing box in rear cover [50 to 60°C
(122 to 140°F)], and then press the rear bearing
into rear cover.
CAUTION:
Grease should not be applied to rear bearing.
Remove the oil completely if it is found on bear-
ing box.
5) After reassembly, turn the pulley by hand to
check that rotor turns smoothly.
E: INSPECTION
1. DIODE
CAUTION:
Never use a mega tester (designed for reading
high voltage) or any other similar instrument
for this test; otherwise, the diodes may be dam-
aged.
1) Checking positive diode
Check for continuity between the diode lead and
positive side heat sink. The positive diode is in
good condition if resistance is 1 Ω o r l e s s o n l y i n t h e
direction from the diode lead to heat sink.
2) Checking negative diode
Check for continuity between the negative side
heat sink and diode lead. The negative diode is in
good condition if resistance is 1 Ω o r l e s s o n l y i n t h e
direction from the heat sink to diode lead.
