If you are not replacing the front bearing and/or rear bearing, go to step 16. Remove the rotor from the stator drive end housing. Inspect the rotor shaft for scoring, and inspect the bearing journal surface in the stator housing for seizure marks. If either the rotor or stator housing is damaged, replace the alternator. If both the rotor and the stator housing are OK, go to step 11. Remove the rear bearing using a puller as shown. aaa
