Generator Armature Removal / Rotor Removal with Hydraulic Pressure (Water)

  • In the past I have used a rod to separate an armature from a tapered shaft. This time I tried an alternate method using water to create hydraulic pressure. It work just as good and will not damage the tapered shaft threads.

    Hey James, thanks so much for this. I got 2 rods stuck after trying to get the rotor off using the rod method and after getting the second rod out with a lot of difficulty, I was running out of ideas. I used oil and still had to give the rotor a couple of wacks with a soft hammer before the rotor released. I recently did the valve clearances and the first run after that blew the crankshaft oil seal out of the housing. I checked the PCV valve in cover and it seemed fine and the hose was not blocked, but I am sure for some reason the cover could not vent. Do you have any ideas as to why that could have happened? I want to make sure it is not going to happen again when I reassemble.

    • @jcondon1
      @jcondon1  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Something similar happened to me once. I had the airbox off but still connected to the valve cover hanging. Doing so put a kink in the PCV line and caused my issue. As long as the vent tube is not restricted or under sized, then you should be ok.

      I have found the rod method and hydraulic method have worked best for me (the only methods that have worked). I have tried using a dead blow hammer on the rotor and an air hammer on a rod inserted down the shaft against the crank, but had no luck. Would think for something stubborn you could use the rod method and when the bolt is cranked down nice and tight, strike the bolt with a hammer or the rotor with a dead blow hammer to shock it off.
