2. Check that there is no continuity between the commutator and the shaft (core). If any continuity is observed, replace the armature with a new one.

Measuring commutator radial runout

Illustration 10 g02241218

1. Inspect the commutator (28) surface. If the surface is rough, polish it using a 400 to 600 grit sandpaper.

2. Measure the commutator radial runout with a dial gauge. If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace the armature with a new one.

Check that there is continuity between M terminal of field coil and the lead wire for the brush. If no continuity is observed, replace the yoke assembly with a new one.

Inspecting insulation between yoke body and brush

17 g02241238

Check that there is no continuity between yoke body and brush. If continuity is observed, replace the yoke assembly with a new one.

Reassembling starter

Applying grease

Note: To avoid mixing of different greases, remove old grease before applying new grease. Make sure that the starter mounting surface, brushes, commutator, and other electric current conducting components are free from grease.

Illustration 18 g02241239

1. When overhauling the starter, apply grease to the following sliding surfaces, gears, and bearings.

2. Tighten the nut (35) to 10.8 ± 1.0 N·m (95.0 ± 9.0 lb in).

3. Tighten the bolt (36) to 3.32 ± 0.77 N·m (29.00 ± 7.00 lb in).

Inspecting and adjusting after reassembling

Inspecting pinion clearance

Note: Do not apply current continuously for longer than 10 seconds.

(33) Terminal S

(34) Terminal M

1. Since, connecting the wires of the reassembled starter as shown that in the diagram causes the pinion to extends and rotate slowly. Disconnect the connector from terminal M to stop the rotation.

Illustration 20 g02241254

2. Lightly push the tip of the extended pinion shaft with a finger. Measure the distance of the shaft movement to obtain the pinion gap measurement. Adjust the pinion gap by varying the number of packings installed at the magnetic switch section so that it conforms to the standard value. When the number of packings is increased, the pinion gap decreases. If proper adjustment cannot be achieved by varying the number of packings, replace the lever.

Separating front bracket from stator

Note: Do not disassemble the alternator unless the repair is necessary. Do not insert the screwdrivers too deep, as it can damage the stator.

Illustration 23 g02241274

1. Remove the through bolts.

2. With two flat-head screwdrivers inserted between the front bracket and stator, pry apart.

Removing pulley

Note: When setting the rotor in a vise, be sure to hold the base of the rotor claw. Do not hold the rotor claw, as damage the claw.

Illustration 24 g02241275

1. Apply a cloth to the rotor and set it in a vise.

2. Remove the pulley nut and then pull out the pulley and spacer.

3. Remove the rotor from the front bracket.

Removing stator

Note: Unsoldering must be finished as quickly as possible. Extended heating will damage the diodes.

(47) Rectifier

(48) Soldering

1. Cut off the joint of the stator and remove the stator from the rectifier.

2. Unscrew the rectifier mounting screws, and dismount the rectifier.

Inspecting rectifier

Illustration 26 g02241278

Check that diodes in a rectifier function properly. To check, measure both negative (-) and positive (+) resistance alternately twice. If both infinite negative and infinite positive resistances are observed, case, replace the rectifier with a new one.

Note: Use a wide measuring range as much as possible. The current flow during test is much lower than the current that normally flows in the rectifier, by which the accurate resistance may not be measured using a tester. This tendency is noticeable if the measuring range is small.

Inspecting rotor

Illustration 27 g02241279

1. Check that there is continuity between slip rings. If no continuity is observed, replace the rotor with a new one.

Illustration 28 g02241280

2. Check that there is no continuity between the slip ring and the shaft (or the core). If continuity is observed, replace the rotor with a new one.

Inspecting stator

Illustration 29 g02241281

1. Checking continuity between lead wires Check that there is continuity between a pair of lead wires. Also check that there is no continuity between a pair of lead wires and other pair of lead wires. If defective, replace the stator.

Illustration 30 g02241282

2. Checking insulation between lead wire and core Check that there is no continuity between each lead wire and the stator core. If continuity is observed, replace the stator.

Note: The core cannot be replaced as a single item.
