    In the armature, I cut off the bottom, bearing then play wackamole until the 2 pieces in the middle break apart, then use bolt cutters on the rest or some heat to melt off the glue they put on the copper sometimes.
    Great videos. I love to watch them. Thank you for sharing. Alot of extra knowledge into what I just tossed out because I couldn't figure it out. God bless.

    Nice breakdown buddy and thank you so much for the shoutout.
    Don’t tell my Amish brothers, but I use the angle grinder and cut off one side of the steel on the armature.
    I have a video on it, but I don’t recall how much weight in copper there is.

    Never taken an alternator apart before. You made it look quite easy. I need to get a big metal plate with holes in for my bench. Much easier than what I do, using the vice

    • @nicejunk666

      They are real easy if it wasn’t for the camera I can do one every 6 minutes and that including the armature
      The plate was off of a countertop drill press

    Oh that's cool. I found the copper winding on it's own and didn't know what it was from. I think I already cut the copper out of it.

    I just watched a video...i wish I could remember who it was... where they just pressed the shaft out of the armature with a 20 ton press and the rest was easy! Been wanting to do it myself, but don't get many alternators. Good video! Hope you have a Merry Christmas! 🎁🎅

    This is one thing I stopped stripping years ago.
    I take the 80c ish a pound n move on.

      I have 50 or so more of these stators and I think I’ll send them as is , the real money in the alternator is the armature I found a very easy way to do them

      No the torque converter goes in the transmission inside of that is a bunch of steal blades that are designed to transfer transmission fluid at certain rpm’s

    The shaft in the centre part taps out easily use your deep creep. The 2 halves should fall apart or just hit with you hammer to reveal the copper wire coil.

    The center shaft presses out .I've cleaned hundreds of them . Some will hammer apart easy . If you don't have a press for the difficult ones a little heat will help

    Did you make at least $20 out of it? I wonder if it is worthy. Might as well mow a lawn for a neighbor for $40.

    • @nicejunk666
      @nicejunk666  Рік тому +1

      They take 6 minutes each, takes longer on video because of teaching people with a narrow mindset, $11 each x 10 per hour thats $110 per hour, whenever you want to come mow my lawn come over
