Disassembling the generator for the purpose of replacing brushes or bearings is carried out as follows:
- Unscrew the two voltage regulator screws and remove the regulator.
- Carefully clamp the generator in a vice and insert a wrench of the appropriate size into the generator shaft. Loosen the shaft nut. Remove the belt pulley, spacer washer, key and flange washer from the front end of the shaft.
- Remove the long through bolts from the front of the generator.
- Use a screwdriver to pry the front bearing shield away from the stator housing. Insert a screwdriver in the place shown in Figure 314, but not deeper than 2.0 mm, so as not to damage the stator winding. Remove the drive bearing shield together with the bearing located in it.
- To replace the bearing, remove the four screws from the front of the bearing shield. After this, take hold of the shield and bearing as shown in Figure 261 and hit the shaft on a piece of wood. In this case, the bearing is released from the rotor.

Further disassembly is not recommended.
The generator is assembled in reverse order. The length of the brushes is measured in the same way as on other generators. The brushes also protrude from the voltage regulator. Soldering in new brushes is not easy, so it is better to entrust this work to a workshop or install a new voltage regulator.
