Late models of the generator
If the brush (1) is worn to the center of the mark (3 mm from the center of the brush holder), replace the brush holder assembly.
Check both rotor bearings for free rotation or replace them. A puller and press tool is required to replace the rear bearing.
Assembly
In early models of the generator:
- Insert the brushes and springs into the brush holder and solder the leads. Trim the long ends.
- To prevent solder from penetrating into the brush lead wires during soldering, hold the brush leads with pliers.
Check that the new brushes move easily in the brush holder.
Place the rear part on the rotor and close it. Put on the front support flange with the spacer sleeve and put on the connecting sleeve.
Install the fan impeller with the pulley and spring ring, tightening the nut to 60 Nm.
Insert into the generator housing, bending the ends of the rectifier connection wires so that they do not touch the rotor. Keep the brushes compressed during assembly.
Secure the housing with three through bolts.
Check the ease of rotation of the generator by hand.
Install the generator.
Connect the ground cable to the battery.
If available, set the time on the clock and enter the security code into the radio.
