ALTERNATOR UNIT REPAIR
CAUTION: Disconnect grounded cable at battery
before removing or attaching battery cable at
alternator output terminal. Otherwise, a tool
shorted to the battery cable at the output terminal
can quickly heat enough to cause a skin burn or
damage the tool or cable.
NOTICE: Always reinstall fasteners at original
location. If necessary to replace fasteners, use only
correct part number or equivalent.
If correct part number is not available, use only
equal size and strength. For alternator internal
fasteners, refer to Delco Remy America Standard
Hardware Fasteners section in Service Parts
Catalog.
Fasteners that are NOT to be reused will be noted
in procedure.
Fasteners requiring thread locking compound will
be noted in procedure.
Use specified torque values when shown.
CAUTION: Using or replacing fasteners in any
other manner could result in part or system
damage.
If diagnosis determines that alternator repair is
needed, remove alternator from engine according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
