• Grip the stator and work it free from the engine
adapter (Figure 4.15).
• When the stator comes free of the adapter, carefully
remove it off the rotor and set it aside.
At this point the rotor is exposed (Figure 4.16).
Removing The Rotor
The rotor is secured to a tapered shaft by means of a long
through-bolt (Figure 4.17).
There is no key or keyway driving the rotor.
Very often, removing the through-bolt leaves the rotor
attached to the tapered shaft.This is due to heat of
operation and the compression of the rotor bolt when it is
properly torqued.The following instructions assume that you
have at your disposal the Rotor Removal Kit
(#41079) mentioned at the beginning of this section.
