(1) Protective strip
1. Put protective strips (1) of cardboard, plastic or curved sheet metal between the rotor assembly
and the stator assembly. The pieces should be as long as the rotor assembly. During removal of
the end housing, these pieces protect the rotor and these pieces protect the stator from damage.
2. The generator bearing is retained in the generator end housing. On the inside of the generator
end housing, a bearing cap or retaining bars are used to retain the bearing.
Retaining Bar
(2) Retaining bar
3. If the generator end housing is equipped with retaining bars (2), remove the four bolts that
fasten the retaining bars to the generator end housing. Remove the retaining bars.
Bearing Cap
(3) Bearing Cap
4. If the generator end housing is equipped with bearing cap (3), remove the necessary bolts
which fasten the bearing cap to the generator end housing. Pry the bearing cap out of the
generator end housing. The bearing cap remains with the rotor shaft. If a bearing lube line is
attached to the bearing cap, remove the lube line.
(4) End housing
(5) Bolts
Note: The weight of end housing (4) varies with the size of the generator. Larger end housings
require the use of a hoist.
5. Attach a hoist to end housing (4). Remove bolts (5) that fasten end housing (4) to the
generator. Use a pry bar to separate the end housing from the generator. Some end housings
have provisions which allow the use of forcing screws. Lift the end housing from the generator
