How to change bearings on the generator

When in the operation of the generator of your car, extraneous noise and sounds appeared, the reason most likely lies in wear of bearings. You can, of course, give the car to the service station, and you can try to change the generator bearings yourself. Let's consider some practical advice for those who prefer to do everything yourself.

1
First of all, you need to remove the generator from the car. First we will weaken the fastening of the generator and let go of the adjustment bolt. Then you should get the belt and disconnect the mass (minus terminal) from the battery. Then disconnect the wires from the generator itself and remove it through the bottom by reloading the mount.

2
Now you can proceed to the demolition of the generator itself. First remove the pulley. We take a screwdriver, very carefully block the rotor and unscrew the pulley with the key. To remove the casing, you need to pull the latches and pull it for it. All bolted connections are treated by a platform, it will be easier to unscrew.

3
Next, unscrew the screws, remove the voltage regulator unit (diode bridge) with brushes. To access the bearings, you need to disconnect the generator cover from the stator. Be careful and look so as not to damage the winding.

4
When you made a complete demolition of the generator, you get access to bearings. Check them for defects. They can be cracks, chips. Check with what ease of the details rotate, is there no backlash. Look, whether wear is not formed in the seats. If there are defects, replace bearings.

5
The front part to put on something solid, the empty and hammer to throw the bearing from the socket. You need to beat strongly and gently. As a copper, use a piece of a suitable diameter tube. The rear bearing without a special puller will be difficult to remove, apply the puller to remove bearings.

6
New bearings must be absolutely similar to the old. Press the item to the generator body must be the same mention. Rear bearing are anchored. Put an anchor to the emphasis and neat strong blows. Press it until it stops. Bearings are replaced.

7
We carry out the assembly in the reverse order. At the same time pay attention to collector wear and brushes. If defects are detected, eliminate immediately.

We hope you saw that there is nothing particularly difficult in replacing bearings, you can do this repair yourself with your own hands.

To remove the bearing, without a puller. Just break it up. Along the anvil, the metal surface at the hammer, throwing the paper to the paper so that the fragments do not fly off. Then put a hammer on the interior clip and hit the hammer to the hammer to damage the contact rings on the generator.
