Disassembly of the Starter/Generator to Service Armature/Commutator, Continued:
2. To separate armature (33) from output end cover (36), remove nut (41), lockwasher (40), pulley (39),
shaft key (34), spacer (37), and bearing retainer screws (43) (Figure 12-42).
Clean and Inspect the Bearings
1. Using a clean cloth, wipe the carbon dust off of the two bearings. Inspect bearings by spinning them by
hand and checking for both axial (A) and radial (B) play (Figure 12-43).
2. Replace the bearing if it is noisy, does not spin smoothly, or has excessive play. Check the bearings
and replace if rusted, worn, cracked, or if there is an abnormal color change in the metal of the bearing.
Bearings should be replaced if there is extreme wear or pitting on the balls or on the rolling surfaces.
Do not remove the bearings unless they are to be replaced.
