ELECTRICAL AR 2368961 - Caterpillar

Disassembly Procedure
Start By:
Remove the alternator from the machine. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Alternator - Remove" for the machine that is being serviced.Note: Before disassembly, clean the exterior of the alternator in order to prevent dirt from entering the unit.Note: The illustrations of the procedures below show the 3T-6352 Alternator Gp. The procedures for the other 27-SI alternators are similar.
