300 Amp delco remy alternator

[David Brady]

Thanks Fred,



That's great info; you saved me a bunch of bucks. Thanks for the offer

on the seal kit, but I'm going to get a few more parts from Elreg;
besides,

you may want to keep that kit as a backup.



Mike, Elreg has parts. It appears that the seal is part number 402-1407

Morning David

To remove the belt,there is a idler
pulley in the center of the engine with an adjustment bolt (about 8
inches long) aboveat an angle.Loosen this bolt about two inches
allowing the pulley to move away from the belt and you can remove the
belt.

The alternator pulley is removed
with a 33mm socket.(1 3/8 may be close) A 1/2 air gun with 100 psi will
get it off, but don't "rattle on it" for much longer than 10 seconds at
a time.

Once the nut is off the pulley will
slip off easily as it is a splined armature shaft.You will now see the
seal plate held on with 6 bolts,remove the bolts and the seal plate
will come off revealing the front bearing. Now remove the sealcollar
still on the shaft and an o ring.Scrape the seal plate gasket off the
alternator housing.Change the seal on the plate being careful to press
the seal in properly,if the seal surface is dry apply a thin coat of
grease an the lip.Reassemble the oring ,seal collar and seal plate and
pulley, washer andnut,then the belt and re-adjust with theidler
pulley with the long adjusting bolt and you have now saved a lot of
time and money.

Also I have a seal, gasket and
o-ring kit available if you need it.
