2. Put two pieces of cardboard or sheet metal between the rotor assembly and the stator assembly. This will keep the rotor off of the stator when the cover assembly is removed.

3. Remove four bolts (2) and the retainers that hold the bearing.

4. Remove six bolts (1) that hold the cover on the stator. Remove the wires F1 and F2 from the regulator assembly.

5. Install two guide bolts (4) with 1/2"-13 NC threads, 10 in. (250 mm) long.

6. Install two 3/8"-16 NC forcing bolts (3) in the threaded holes in cover. Push the cover from the bearing and remove the cover with a hoist.


NOTICE

Do not damage the stationary exciter field, which is part of the cover, when the cover is removed.


7. Remove ring (6) that holds bearing (5) on the shaft.

8. Install tool group (A) and remove the bearing from shaft.

NOTE: After the bearing has been removed, the armature of the exciter can be removed. The armature windings will be destroyed.

Install Generator Bearing

NOTE: If the armature of the exciter has been removed, press the replacement armature on the rotor shaft using a pipe with approximately an I.D. and O.D. of the rotor shaft O.D. and armature winding I.D. respectively. The rotor shaft has a taper and keyway.

1. Heat the bearing in oven to a maximum temperature of 225°F (107°C).

2. Install bearing (1) on the shaft.

3. Install the ring that holds the bearing on the shaft.
