Rotor assembly removal

[Anthony]

I'm having problems with the alternator on my '76 GS750, I removed the side cover over the alternator and visually inspected the stator and rotor. The stator appears fine and the resistance tests check out as well. The rotor magnents however have many chipped and broken pieces. I have a replacement rotor and need to remove the damaged rotor. I removed the rotor center bolt but I can't get the rotor assembly off, it won't move at all. How do I go about removing the rotor assembly? Thanks.

You will need a puller to get it off. I'm not familiar with your bike, but my '78 GS1000 uses a 16mm x 1.5 pitch bolt. Try Z1 enterprises.

There's two methods I know of for getting these off.

1/ Suzuki specialist rotor puller,
2/ a rear wheel spindle.

I've never used the rear wheel spindle method as mine have the extenal thread.

DO NOT USE A THREE LEGGED PULLER AS IT WILL ONLY BUCKLE THE ROTOR BUT NOT REMOVE IT.

check your rotor to see if has internal threads or external threads for a puller. Mine has both. I have heard that you can use the rear axle shaft. Going to the hardware to see if I can find a 16mm bolt.

Good point on not using the jawed puller suzuki mad.
