Pulling the Alternator Rotor

JMJ

Greetings! Welcome back!

So, the alternator rotor has been patiently waiting for its turn and that day has finally come. Actually, that day was closer to the first of August, but we’ll pretend. Since I could not find the Harley-Davidson Alternator Rotor Remover/Installer (at least not a complete unit), and the JIMS alternative was unavailable until October, I kept searching for an alternative tool. Patience is sometimes rewarded. Jireh Cycles in Arnold, Missouri, carries such a tool from Ultima (see Resources). After doing a quick fitup with no instructions (that was odd), I pulled the rotor as you can see in the short clip below.

The final step was to remove the leads from the stator cable plug and pull the stator. Photos below.

Next, we’ll be removing the cam support plate.

Cheers!
