taking it apart was much harder. I had to DE-solder some stuff, specifically the stater, just to get at screws, which ended up being drilled out.

The plastic inside was really REALLY brittle as well. I had to glue it all back together. I may pick up another junk alternator just for the plastic parts inside now that I know how to take one apart without breaking all those fragile parts.


Assembly is a cinch once you take it apart successfully. I ended up tapping a few of the M5 holes to M6, because I had to drill the hardware out internally, and didn't have spare hardware to use that was M5.....I have plenty of M6 hardware though.
