Alternator repair, a little show and tell.
Here's the puller's hub and body as they should fit.
The alternator went back on the car today, and it pretty much came right off again.
Snugging up the nut on the ring terminals, the output stud moved. :(
So off it came.
Removed the three assembly screws, carefully seperated the halves, and forgot to removed the brushes. :rolleyes:
Not a catastrophe. Just not a good way to do things,
Yellow arrow points to the nut that had to be tightened.
Speaking of removal and installation, I'd be curious what other people do.
My method is to work from the front, getting outer spacer in first, then positioning the inner spacer. From there its a little prying or a little tapping with a hammer depending on what I have on hand and if there's room for leverage.
