    In the method described below, the generator has already been removed.
    
    
   
   
   
    
     
      
       | 1. | Remove the protective housing from the generator. 
 
   
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 2. | Remove the voltage regulator. 
 
 | 
     
    
   
   
   
    The generator brushes are fixed to the voltage regulator. The whole unit must be replaced with a new one.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
   
   
    
   
   
   
    
     
      
       | 1. | Carefully straighten the spring tab so that it lies against the voltage regulator. Clean and apply a thin coating of Vaseline to avoid oxidation. 
 
   
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 2. | Clean the ground connection on the regulator and apply Vaseline. 
 
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 3. | Refit the voltage regulator. 
 
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 4. | Refit the protective housing on to the generator.
