Disassembly
Disassemble the alternator (See Parts Identification) [A].
Remove the regulator cover and regulator.
Remove the four bolts holding halves together.
Pry the halves apart.
Use a soft jaw vise to hold rotor while removing pulley nut.
Remove front case half from the rotor using a plastic hammer.
Unsolder the stator leads from the rectifier. Remove the stator.
Stator Continuity Test
Use an ohmmeter to test the stator.
Touch the probes to two of the bare stator wires [B].
Move one of the probes to the third wire.
The readings should be the same.
If there is no continuity, replace the stator.
Stator Ground Test
Touch one probe to a bare stator lead and the other probe to the bare metal surface of the stator [C].
There should be no continuity.
Replace the stator if there is continuity.
