Alternator dismantling as case needs painting
paul G:
I would also replace all the barrel connectors whilst it is off, as they always get corroded and overheat ;)

Sorry not sure what you mean by the barrel connections is that the block connectors?
Bryanj:
If you follow the lead down from the block connector you will find some bullet connectors and its those he is on about

Mine are well corroded now I've looked at them closely - might replace the mini loom between the connector block & the push in terminals - then clean up the remaining side connections individually.

I've just fitted the alternator coils into the housing with some nice new screws from DS - I decided on a new mini loom so am just left with cleaning up the male & female bullet connectors at the end of the coil lead.
The male ends are pretty easy to clean up but the females are inside the sleeve so it will probably be just a case of some clean wet & dry wrapped around the end if a small screwdriver. It's a pitty you can't just dip them into a magic solution like silverdip cleans silver!!
Is there some easy way to test how good the connections are?
I have an AVO meter but tbh it's decades since I did anything other than use it as a volt meter.
Might be a learning module on U-tube to learn about measuring resistance as I have forgotten completely about resistance / impedence etc?
Any tips welcome.
