Alternator Rebuild Part 5



This alternator rebuild is going to have more parts than there have been Rocky movies. Probably take as long too. Anyway earlier this week my impact wrench arrived and I was itching to use it. I finally made it to my brothers garage to use his compressor. After some adjustments to the fittings I got the impact wrench work and I was off. Where we left off was that I was stuck getting the pulley fan nut off.
Using 15/16" impact socket I applied it to the nut. Squeezed the trigger a few times and it came off like a charm. Amazing what will happen when you have the correct tool for the job.


Now it'll be how to remove the rotor from the housing. Also I can start removing the paint, rust and repaint the pulley fan. The saga continues.....
