Generators & Regulators: Overhaul

NOTE: See Fig 1 for exploded view of Hitachi generator. See Fig 2 for exploded view of Mitsubishi generator.

To remove a stuck rear cover after removing case bolts, use soldering iron/gun to heat rear cover bearing housing to about 122-140°F (50-60°C). This action will expand housing enough to slide cover off rear rotor bearing. Ensure spring washer located in rear cover bearing bore is not lost during disassembly.
