[s-cars] [EXTERNAL] Re: Alternator Rebuild

[Bares, Vittorio]

I’ve looked at many – and in all that showed the rotor coming out – it just flopped out. I’ve seen the upper bearing being pressed out of the casing, but nothing about the lower bearing.

I’ll keep poking at it…

Yes – Avi was the guy.

Thanks,

V-

Avi Meron was the guy doing "ultranators". I've never taken one apart, but there seems to be a lot of guides with pictures around the web. Seems like the thing presses together/apart based on a few things I looked at.
