  7. To remove the regulator/brush holder and the rectifier assemblies, first melt the solder of the lead connecting the regulator/brush holder assembly to the rectifier assembly lead to the stator. Do the same to the other rectifier assembly leads to the stator, as shown.

  8. Test each of the three diodes of the rectifier assembly for continuity. Connect the ohmmeter probes on each side of the diode. Retest by connecting the ohmmeter probes reversely. If the readings are the same, replace the rectifier.

  9. Mark a line perpendicular to the crack between the case of the drive end frame and that of the slip ring end frame.
  10. Pry open the drive end frame from the slip ring end frame.
  11. Remove the collar.

  13. Separate the rotor from the slip ring end frame.
    14. Fig 11: View Of Stator Ground Testing Procedure

  14. Using the ohmmeter, test the stator for ground. If the reading is low, replace the stator. Also check the stator for an open circuit by placing the probes on two terminals. If the reading is high (infinite), replace the stator.
    15. Fig 12: View Of Rotor Open Circuit Testing Procedure

  15. Using an ohmmeter, test the rotor for an open circuit. Check that there is continuity between the slip rings. Standard resistance (cold) is 2.8-3.0 ohms. If there is no continuity, replace the rotor.

  16. Using an ohmmeter, inspect the rotor for ground. Check that there is no continuity between the rotor and the slip ring.
