Mercury F1DZ-10C359-A Regulator And Brush Holder Assembly

To remove the alternator, set it on a clean workbench. Then, remove the four voltage regulator mounting screws and detach the voltage regulator/brush holder assembly. Next, detach the rubber plugs and remove the brush lead retaining screws and nuts to separate the brush leads from the holder. After that, remove both brushes, ensuring not to lose the springs. Install the brushes into the regulator, making sure the springs are properly compressed and the brushes are properly inserted into the recesses in the brush holder. Install the brush lead retaining screws and nuts. Insert a short section of wire through the hole in the voltage regulator to hold the brushes in the retracted position during regulator installation. Carefully install the regulator, ensuring the brushes don't hang up on the rotor. Finally, install the voltage regulator screws and tighten them securely.
