rod big end for correct reassembly.
(2) Keep the removed connecting rods, caps, and bearings
in order according to the cylinder number.
BPISTON PIN REMOVAL
(1) Insert the special tool, Push Rod, into the piston from
the side on which the front mark is stamped in the piston
head, and attach the guide C to the push rod end.
(2) Place the piston and connecting rod assembly on the
special tool, Piston Pin Setting Base, with the front mark
facing upward.
(3) Using a press, remove the piston pin.
NOTE
Keep the disassembled pistons, piston pins and
connecting rods in order according to the cylinder number.

ENGINE – Piston and Connecting Rod11-61
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
APISTON PIN INSTALLATION
(1) Measure the following dimensions of the piston, piston
pin and connecting rod.
A: Piston pin insertion hole length
B: Distance between piston bosses
C: Piston pin length
D: Connecting rod small end width
(2) Obtain dimension L (to be used later) from the above
measurements by using by following formula.
L =
(A – C) – (B – D)
2
(3) Insert the special tool, Push Rod, into the piston pin and
attach the guide A to the push rod end.
(4) Assemble the connecting rod in the piston with their front
marks facing the same direction.
(5) Apply engine oil to the entire periphery of the piston pin.
(6) Insert the piston pin, push rod and guide A assembly
having assembled in step (3) from the guide A side into
the piston pin hole on the front marked side.
(7) Screw the guide B into the guide A until the gap between
both guides amounts to the value L obtained in step
(2) plus 3 mm.
(8) Place the piston and connecting rod assembly onto the
piston setting base with the front marks directed upward.
(9) Press-fit the piston pin using a press.
If the press-fitting force required is less than the standard
value, replace the piston and piston pin set or/and the
connecting rod.
Standard value: 7,350 – 17,200 N

DISASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS
AFRONT BRACKET ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Insert a flat tip screwdrivers or the like in the clearance between
the front bracket assembly and stator core, to pry open and
separate the stator and front bracket.
Caution
Do not insert the screwdriver too far, or the stator coil
gets damaged.
BALTERNATOR PULLEY REMOVAL
Face pulley side upward, fix the rotor with a work bench
and remove the pulley.
Caution
Use care not to damage the rotor.
CSTATOR / REGULATOR ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
(1) Unsolder the stator with a soldering iron (180 to 250
W). Complete this work within four seconds not to transfer
heat to the diode.
(2) When removing rectifier from the regulator assembly,
remove the soldered sections to rectifier.
Caution
1. Use care to make sure that the heat of the soldering
iron is not transmitted to the diodes for a long
period.
2. Use care that no undue force is exerted to the
lead wires of the diodes.
REASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS
AREGULATOR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
After installing the regulator assembly, insert a wire into the
hole provided on the rear bracket while pressing in the brush
to fix the brush.
NOTE
The brush is fixed when a wire is inserted, making rotor
installation easier.

OVERRUNING CLUTCH CHECK
(1) While holding clutch housing, rotate the pinion. Drive
pinion should rotate smoothly in one direction, but should
not rotate in opposite direction. If clutch does not function
properly, replace overrunnig clutch assembly.
(2) Inspect pinion for wear or burrs. If pinion is worn or burred,
replace overrunning clutch assembly. If pinion is damaged,
also inspect ring gear for wear or burrs.
FRONT AND REAR BRACKET BUSHING CHECK
Inspect bushing for wear or burrs. If bushing is worn or burred,
replace front bracket assembly or rear bracket assembly.
BRUSH AND SPRING REPLACEMENT
(1) Brushes that are worn beyond wear limit line, or oil-soaked,
should be replaced.
(2) When replacing ground brush, slide the brush from brush
holder by prying retaining spring back.
ARMATURE TEST
ARMATURE COIL SHORT-CIRCUIT TEST
(1) Place armature in a growler.
(2) Hold a thin steel blade parallel and just above while rotating
armature slowly in growler. A shorted armature will cause
blade to vibrate and be attracted to the core. Replace
shorted armature.
ARMATURE COIL EARTH TEST
Check the insulation between each commutator segment and
armature coil core.
If there is no continuity, the insulation is in order.
