- A puller (14) is used to separate the two halves of the alternator. Use a puller with an end that is pointed. Do not use a puller with a flat shaft end. Hook the arms of the puller around the inner portion of the case (13) . See illustration 10. Use puller arms with thin, flat bottom hooks (15) .
Note: As the case comes apart, ensure that the washer between the rear bearing and the case of the alternator is accounted for. The washer will be reused during reassembly of the alternator.
