Alternator Overhaul
To loosen the pulley locknut, use the tools as shown. If necessary, use an impact wrench.
Rectifier Test
NOTE: The diodes are designed to allow current to pass in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. Since the alternator rectifier is
made up of eight diodes (four pairs), each diode must be tested for continuity in both directions with an ohmmeter that has diode checking capability;
a total of 16 checks.
