NOTE:

The sleeve collar will have to be removed with a gear puller. Be careful not to damage the

rotor slip ring assembly.

12.

Remove the rotor by pulling it free of the generator shaft.

REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

Carefully mount the rotor onto the generator shaft. Install a new sleeve collar (part number

T14337), washer and rotor locking nut.

NOTE:

Be careful not to damage or deform the new sleeve collar. Carefully tap the new sleeve

collar into position. The rotor locking nut should be torqued to 175 ft.-lbs.

After the rotor locking nut is properly torqued, bend the washer down over the locking nut.

Check rotor air gap, .017" minimum is allowed.

Mount the brush holder assembly to the stator frame using two bolts, washers and nuts

Installing and Seating Exciter Slip Ring Brushes

a. Make sure the slip rings are clean and free from oil and grease.

b. With the brushes in place, insert one end of a minimum 24" long piece of 180 grit sandpaper

between the slip rings and brushes (abrasive against brushes). Pull the paper around the

circumference of the rings in the direction of rotation only. Repeat this procedure until the entire

face of the brush is contoured to the radius of the slip ring.

c. Check the brushes to be certain that there is spring tension holding them firmly against the slip

rings.

Install the alternator cover and wrap-around.

Connect the negative battery cable.

Attach the roof panel and close the left and right side panels.
