Remove the sprocket cover, 4 x 8mm screw. |
Remove the starter cover (3 x 8mm screw), ATTENTION!!! the starter gear drive have 2 washer at each end, make sure they are there! Remove the 2 bottom 8mm screw (they hold the ALT cover) inside housing. |
Remove all other 8mm screw around the ALT cover. Pull on it hard. This is a 2 parts Alternator/rotor called a stator. The wiring part are in the cover and the magnet is on the engine side. |
General view. |
Well, in my case, NO gasket what so ever! On either side, just some small trace of old gasket. So, no gasket, very small, leak I'm impress with Japanese machining! |
Remove all trace of old gasket with a razor blade and/or some scotch guard and brake cleaner. |
New gasket and some Locktite 518, i don't trust gasket, but that's me. |
Cleaning of the starter cover. |
Another view |
The old gasket is fine, just add some 518 and that thing will be seal for a long time. |
