How does the back cover on EF alterators seperate? I've done any of the Bosch ones.
I've removed the 4 screws in the side, the batt out terminal. Stator is lifted off cover but there seems something catching?? anything else that has to be removed?
I want to put this in a 250 x-flow but is in despirate need of a cleanup (P.steer )

undo the 4 bolts, and the stator SHOULD come out with the back housing like the bosch.
it might need a bit of a pry though, just watch the stator while evenly prying it apart.
if that does not work, you can take the pulley off and the rotor will slide out with the back of the housing.
then you just grab the shaft in a vice with soft jaws, and tap the housing lightly with a hammer till it's all separated.

Yeh just undo the 4 bolts, and gentle pry the stator and rear housing off in one motion.

Be careful not to damage the stator.....as its fragile in the wrong hands..

I think the slip rings must be warn too far and the brushes stuck in the grooves, because it aint gonna separate!
I just gernied the bastard anyhow and give it a few days dryout
