21SI™ & 22SI™ HD ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions explain how to remove and replace serviceable components for these alternators.
WARNING!!!!ALWAYS USE PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHEN PERFORMING ANY MECHANICAL REPAIRS TO A VEHICLE –
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY INSTALLATION AND OR REPAIRS TO THE DELCO REMY
USE PROPER EYEPROTECTION CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS AND PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE.
Only perform the mechanical functions that you are properly qualified to perform. Mechanical repairs that are beyond your technical
capabilities should be handled by a profession al ins tal lati on s peci ali st.
DANGER!!! To avoid injury or damage, always disconnect the negative cable at the battery before removing or replacing the alternator.
The alternator output terminal is always live (“hot”). If the battery is not disconnected, a tool accidentally touching this terminal and
ground can quickly get hot enough to burn skin or damage tools and surrounding parts.

REFERENCE: There is an exploded parts view of these alternators for easy reference on page 3. Exploded views can be found on the
www.delcoremy.com web site under product support for these alternators and other products.
NOTE: Some components can be removed without following all steps as sequenced.
1. Remove the pulley nut, pulley and fan. If replacing one of these parts, dispose of it and install replacement. Torque the pulley nut
to 95-108 Nm (70-80 lb ft).
NOTICE!! Excessive movement of stator may weaken or break a lead or leads between the stator and rectifier assemblies.
2. If replacing the rotor, DE frame, DE bearing or retainer plate, remove the DE frame and rotor assembl y, by removing the four (4)
thru-bolts (mark end frames for reassembly) that hold the end frames together.
3. Separate the rotor assembly from the DE frame, using a press. If replacing rotor, dispose of it and press replacement rotor with
spacer into DE frame.
NOTICE!!! It is recommended the DE and SRE bearings be replaced when replacing the rotor assembly.
4. If replacing DE frame (with bearing), dispose of it and press rotor assembly and spacer into replacement DE frame (with bearing).
5. If replacing DE bearing, remove the three (3) retainer plate screw assemblies and retainer plate. Using a press, remove and
dispose of the old bearing and press new bearing into frame bore until seated, by applying force against the outer race only.
6. Reinstall or replace the bearing retainer plate and screws. Torque the three (3) retainer screws to 4.5 - 5.7 Nm (40 - 50 lb in).
7. Go to component assembly instructions, page 2.

The regulator and rectifier terminals are labeled to better enable following instructions for replacing components and parts.
NOTE: Some components can be removed without following all steps as sequenced.
1. Remove the DE frame and rotor assembly, by removing the four (4) thru-bolts (mark end frames for reassembly) that hold the end
frames together and separate the end frames.
2. If replacing the stator, remove the three (3) nut assemblies from the P1, P2 and P3 rectifier terminals, noting position of leads for
reassembly. Install replacement stator, making sure leads are all the way down on the terminals, and three (3) nut assemb lies.
Torque nuts to 1.7-2.8 Nm (15-25 lb in).

ALTERNATORS. FAILURE TO

REINSTALL THE ALTERNATOR ACCORDING TO ENGINE OR VEHI CLE MANFACTURERS INSTRUCTION’S
NOTICE - Only licensed Remy International, Inc. product and component parts should be used, and the use of other parts or modifications not approved

3. If replacing the SRE bearing or brush holder assembly, remove brush holder assembly, washer and any other parts that could be
damaged by pushing the bearing out with a press.
4. Push the bearing out, with a press, from the back of frame (closed end of bearing) inward and install replacement bearing. See
graphic on page 3 for correct dimensional location of bearing in the frame.
WARNING!!! MULTIPLE STYLES OF SCREW ASSEMBLIES ARE USED, INCLUDING INSULATED AND NON-INSULATED, FOR
REGULATORS AND RECTIFIER BRIDGES. THE SCREW ASSEMBLIES MUST BE REPLACED IN THE SAME LOCATION AS
REMOVED TO AVOID GROUNDING OR OTHER UNDESIREABLE RE S ULTS.
5. If replacing terminal assemblies, it is advisable replace them one at a time, carefully noting parts and stack up and where leads are
connected. Torque requirements for the "R", "I" & "sense" terminal nuts are 1.7 - 2.8 Nm (15 - 20 lb in). The output (B+) terminal
torques are as follows: 1/4” is 5.7 - 6.8 Nm (50 - 60 lb in), M6 is 6.8 - 9.0 Nm (60 - 80 lb in), 5/16” is 7.4 - 11.1 Nm (65 - 98 lb in).
All terminals are insulated from the SRE frame.
DANGER!!! If all terminals are not kept insulated from the frame when the battery is connected, they can quickly get hot enough to
burn skin and damage surrou n ding parts.
6. Remove brush holder assembly by first pushing brushes back, placing a pin through holes in brush holder and brushes t o keep
them in place, and removing the three (3) mounting screw assemblie s, noting positions of the insulated screws.
7. Install brush holder assembly, three (3) mounting scr ew s and torque to 1.7 - 2.8 Nm (15 - 20 lb in). The two (2) insulated screws also
serve as regulator mounting screws.
8. Install a pin through holes in the SRE frame and brushes to allow for installation of the rotor. Remove pin after reassembly of the
alternator.
9. If replacing the regulator, remove the nut, loosen the "B+" terminal nut and remove the three (3) screw assemblies, carefully
noting where leads and/or straps are connected. The connections are as follows: "F-" -The terminal is connected to field coil
at brush holder with an insulated screw. "GRD" -Nothing is connected. "F+" -The "I" and diode trio straps are connec te d
with an insulated screw. "Sense" -The strap from the #5 rectifier bridge position is connected.
10. Install new regulator and reconnect leads and straps as removed. Install and torque the three (3) screw assemblies to 1.8 - 2.3 Nm
(16 - 20 lb in) and the nut assembly to 1.7 - 2 .8 Nm (15 - 25 lb in).
11. If replacing the diode trio or diode trio & autostart, remove nut assem blies from P1 terminal, loosen the "R" terminal strap , P2, &
P3 rectifier terminals, noting how the three (3) stator leads connect to the "P" terminals. If replacing diode trio & autostart,
continue to remove screws from #2 (insulat ed) and #3 rectifier positions.
12. Install the replacement diode trio or autostart, screws in #2 (insulated) and #3 rectifier positions, "R" terminal strap and stator
leads, insuring leads are all the way down. Reinstall the three (3) phase terminal nut assemblies and torque to 1.7 - 2.8 Nm
(15 - 25 lb in). Install and torque the insulated screw, that connects the "I" terminal and trio straps to the "F+" regulator
terminal, to 2.5 - 3.4 Nm (22 - 30 lb in). Tighten the "I" terminal nut to 1.7 - 2 .8 Nm (15 - 25 lb in) and output terminal nut
according to size. See values in line 5 for correct torque. If autostart, install and torque the #2 position insulated screw and #3
position screw to 2.5 - 3.4 Nm (22 - 30 lb in). .
13. If replacing rectifier bridge, remove the diode trio or diode trio & autostart plus t he remaining screw from #4 position.
14. Install rectifier bridge assembly and replace all straps and connectors as removed. See above steps for terminations and torque
values.
COMPONENT ASSSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Assemble the DE frame and rotor assembly with the SRE frame assembly, being sure to line up the non-threaded mounting lugs or
marks. This is best accomplished by inserting a tolerance pin in the non-threaded holes on hinge mount (J180) units or two (2)
parallel blocks with pad mount units.
2. Install the four (4) thru bolts and torque to 50% of final value. Use a staggered sequence to finish and torque thru-bolts to
10.7 - 11.9 Nm (95 - 105 lb).
3. Install external fan, pulley and pulley nut. Torque pulley nut to 95-108 Nm (70-80 lb ft).
♦ Reattach the battery (+) terminal lead to alternator battery terminal and torque nut to 9.0-13.0 Nm (80 - 120 lb in).
♦ Reconnect the negative (-) cable at the battery.
