Figure 11-7. C-3928 Fixture and Adapters Figure 11-8. Removing Rectifiers
NOTE
A common cause of an open or a shorted rectifier is a defective capacitor or
a battery that has been installed in reverse polarity. If the battery is installed
properly and the rectifiers are open, test the capacitor with a condenser
tester.
11-13. REMOVING AND INSTALLING RECTIFIERS. The use of proper tools for the removal and
installation of rectifiers cannot be over emphasized. A special tool kit has been developed to remove and
replace new rectifiers without damage.
NOTE
Only new rectifiers should be installed. It is not recommended to reinstall
rectifiers once they have been removed.
The tool kit can be used on all Chrysler built alternators. A press is not required when using the C-3928
tool kit for removing or installing rectifiers. Three diode rectifiers are pressed into the heat sink and three in
the end shields.
The new tool consists of a clamp type fixture with special adapters. This tool makes it unnecessary to use a
press.
The tool assembly consists of the following components:
C-3928 - Fixture and Adapters
SP-3821 - Removing Adapter
SP-3818 - Installing Adapter
SP-3820 - Installing Support
