Alternator Reassembly

  2. Remove any grease or any oil from the slip rings.
  3. Put the rear housing assembly and drive-end housing/rotor assembly together, torque the four through bolts.
  4. Push in the brushes (A), then insert a pin or drill bit (B) (about 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) diameter) to hold them there.
