Hiya Glenn,
Eh mate I have a 5.8 Kva genset that has a siezed motor that came with the farm when we bought it. Now I'm not going to get rid of it as I have a few idea's with micro hydro for it. But if you happen to get the same I found out the way to get the alternator off the motor. The shaft is connected via a tapered screw thread and the only way to seperate them is fix the motor to a solid post and wrap a heap of hessian rope around the rotor so you don't damage any wiring. when you wrap the hessian leave a loop then wrap atleast 3 full wraps then use a crow bar after applying some heat to the shaft and pull like hell. This is the only way and the best way I reckon. By the way I was told this by an old bloke from Mt Barker who mentioned he knows a heap of people that have stuffed an alternator before he told them how to do it.
Hope this helps your quest Glenn
Cheers bryan
