One of the yellow wires has broken off the stator. Can I just remove the stator by loosening the collar without removing the rotor held onto the crank end?
Aren't there some springs and brushes in there, or no?
The 450-watt upgrade is the same 350w alternator you already have. Why they call it a 450-watter I do not know. The magnets are in the rotor and should tickle your new stator well enough.
