IMPORTANT: The regulator, rectifier and brush assembly are the only components
individually replaceable on this alternator. If the rotor or stator is defective, the en-
tire rotor, stator and housing must be replaced as an assembly.
IMPORTANT: Clean anti-corrosion paint from electrical connections prior to reas-
sembly. Coat all electrical connections with LIQUID NEOPRENE (92-25711-1).
Rotor Test
1. Inspect slip ring surface for roughness, abnormal wear and/or burning. If such condi-
tions exist, rotor is not considered serviceable and alternator should be replaced.
2. Measure the outer diameter of the slip rings using vernier calipers. STANDARD DI-
AMETER: 0.567 in. (14.4 mm); MINIMUM DIAMETER: 0.551 in. (14 mm). If slip ring
diameter is less than minimum, rotor is not considered serviceable and alternator
should be replaced.

3. Inspect rotor for an open circuit. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between slip
rings. Resistance should not exceed 3 ohms. If no continuity exists, rotor is defective.
4. Check rotor for short to ground. NO CONTINUITY should exist between slip rings and
rotor shaft. If CONTINUITY exists, rotor is defective.
