14. Slide a short length of 2 X 4 under
the engine to support it when the
stator is removed.
15. With the 1/2” wrench, remove the 2
nuts that hold the stator end brack-
et support. See Figure F.12 for
location. There are 2 split-ring lock
washers along with the nuts.
16. With the 7/16” socket and 7/16”
end wrench, remove the 4 thru-
bolts for the generator assembly.
See Figure F.12. All 4 bolts have a
split-ring lock washer under the
head and a shake-proof star wash-
er on the nut side. The bolts must
point toward the engine for
reassembly.
17. Lift up the stator and slide out the
support bracket. The engine will
now rest on the 2 X 4.
18. With the babbitt/leather/wooden
mallet, tap off the end bracket.
Alternate sides as you tap; watch
the bearing to judge the amount of
movement you’re getting.
19. Once the end bracket is off, care-
fully pull off the stator. IMPROPER
HANDLING OF THE STATOR CAN
RESULT IN SHORTED WINDINGS
AND/OR LOST OUTPUT.
