ENGINE/ROTOR REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT (continued)

ROTOR REMOVAL PROCEDURE

1. To remove the rotor, double check that the

engine spark plug wires are disconnected.

You will be turning the rotor during this proce-

dure, and this could accidentally cause engine

kickback.

2. With an impact wrench, remove the rotor thru-

bolt. See Figure F.13. If an impact wrench is

not available, use a 5/8” box wrench. Hold the

rotor with one hand and shock the wrench with

the mallet to loosen the thru-bolt. The thru-bolt

has a star washer and lock washer, beveled to

conform to the rotor shaft. Pull out the thru-bolt.

3. Install the appropriate long thru-bolt (two are

provided) supplied with Lincoln Electric Rotor

Removal Kit S20788. The slot head must face

out. Screw in the bolt with the slot head screw

driver until the bolt bottoms out on the engine

crankshaft, about 3/4”.

4. Turning it counterclockwise, screw in the left-

hand thread rotor removal tool from the kit into

the rotor shaft. Support the rotor with one hand

and tighten the tool to approximately 50 ft lbs

with the torque or impact wrench.

5. If the rotor does not pop off, tighten the rotor

removal tool an additional 5 ft lbs.

Hold the

rotor with one hand until the rotor pops off the

engine crankshaft.

HINT: If the rotor does not pop off, hit the end of the

rotor removal tool with a hammer.

6. Slide the rotor the rest of the way off the crank-

shaft. Be careful not to lose the washer that fits

between the blower fan and the rotor.
