JBOB 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Ive bought a polished Alt casing (cos im to lazy) from a mate of mine and today ive tried to swap the casings over. Ive gotten everything apart except for the smaller part of the casing that attaches to the main spindle thing :wink: There seems to be two screws/nuts on the inside of the casing but I cant get to them. Has anybody else ever done this and if how ?? Cheers J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VEEDUBBED 0 Posted June 10, 2005 You'll need a hyd. press mate,re-attach the spindle's nut to protect the threaded bit and apply pressure until it pops out. Be carefull because the aluminium can be fragile,cheers,Andrew. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can see two screws that look like tey hold the spindle on !! but i cant get to them AAAHHHHH I just cant get my head around this LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VEEDUBBED 0 Posted June 10, 2005 When you press out the shaft using a hyd. press,the hyd. ram forces the alternator shaft out of it's bearing,the screws don't retain the shaft,you could also try heating the alt. casing around the bearing part then with a copper malet try tapping the shaft through but i dowt that would be sufficent to shift the shaft.
