Ok its starting to get warm where I live and its giving me the motovation for some work on the car. I would like to have my alternator powdercoated, I have taken it apart as far as I can go without any questions. I am unsure how to take out the outside ring of coils on the back half of it. It seems to me that it would just pulle out seeing that theres only some nuts connected to the wires on the bottom. but other then that should It just come out. Is mine being a pain in the a$$ ?

 

It's probably corrosion between the case and the stator (the outside ring of coils).
Normally, it's just a snug fit in the case.

 

What would you sugest to do to break it free?

 

never mind, rubber mallet did the trick. thank you sir, you pinpointed my problem

 

Good, glad you got it! I was gonna suggest a sledge hammer!

 

ahaa, I like the way you think.
Got one more tiny question becuase I just gutted the case except the back bearing. I think it was pushed in, during assembely soo i need to pop it out Not sure yet, I cant tell

 

Does your rear bearing have a retainer ring held on by three screws? Turn the case upside down (open end down) and slam it down on a block of wood. The bearing should pop out. While it's all apart, now would be a good time to repack the bearings too. With a tiny flathead screwdriver, you can gently work around the outer perimeter of the "seal" and pop it out. The seal may get slightly bent when you take it out, but you can straighten it back out. Then it just snaps back into the groove.

 

ahaa just heated it a lil and it came out, most likely il replace it.

Ok thurd question. on the front case I can not get the post off on the belt drive side? does that have to unscrew with the hex on the front?

 

What are you referring to "post"?

 

the post where the pully bolts on to, but i got it. It's all apart and sandblasted now =] yayyy
