Butec Alternator.

[Pete G]

In order to test the rectifiers and replace as necessary I am trying to strip down the alternator.
The manual says in para. 86.10.08 item 15 "Remove the three nuts from the field terminal posts and detach the stator winding terminals." The diagram shows these terminal wires exiting the stator coils inside the housing.
The next item no. 16 says to separate the two parts.
Has anyone done this 'cos it appears to me to be impossible? To be able to detach the stator winding terminals I can't access them until the two parts of the housing have been separated but the length of the wires from the stator are not long enough to allow separation. Clearly something is wrong because this situation would prevent assembly
What am I missing here? Any and all advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks Colin. Sorry for the slow response, I've been away for the weekend. I've seen that manual but it doesn't really show any more than the ROM. I can't see how the three wires from the stator windings connect into the slip ring housing.

Problem solved. The instructions given in the ROM are not quite correct in so much as all the instructions are there but not in the right order.

all the instructions are there but not in the right order.
