Diode Replacement

  1. When unsoldering or soldering stator leads from diodes, use pliers and wad of water-soaked cotton to grip diode lead and protect diode from excessive heat. Do not use more heat than necessary to melt solder.
  2. Use Diode Remover & Installer Tool (Snap-On CJ-96A) to press diodes in and out of heat sink and end housing
    CAUTION: (Do not drive on diodes, shock will cause internal damage).
