WARNING
To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could
cause death or serious injury, disconnect negative (-)
battery cable before proceeding. (00048a)
1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
2. Remove primary cover. See 6.2 PRIMARY COVER .
3. Remove clutch assembly, primary chain and engine
sprocket/rotor assembly as a unit. See
6.5 PRIMARY
CHAIN .
4. Remove/disassemble rotor and/or stator, as required.
Refer to the following procedures.
Rotor
1. See Figure 7-34. Remove the eight fasteners which
secure alternator rotor to engine sprocket.
2. See Figure 7-35. Position blocking under rotor. Press
sprocket free of rotor.
NOTE
Resistance to sprocket/rotor disassembly is due in part to the
magnetic force of the permanent rotor magnets.
Stator
1. See Figure 7-36. Disconnect stator wiring (4) from volt-
age regulator wiring at connector (5) [46] under sprocket
cover. See
7.26 SPROCKET COVER WIRING.

NOTE
Stator TORX screws contain a thread locking compound. Do
not reuse existing screws. Always use new screws with the
proper thread locking compound. Loss of torque on TORX
fasteners could result in alternator damage.
