750 alternator seal & o-ring questions

I'm replacing the shaft seal, big o-ring and oil nozzle o-ring. I know how to get the rotor out. I know how to get the three Torx screws out that hold the seal cover. I also have both an official Yamaha service manual & the Hanes manual, but the instructions and details for both are lacking to say the least. A few questions as follows:

1) When pulling the seal/bearing cover out, does the shaft & bearing come with it? Or to put it another way, do I want it to?

2) Or does the cover come out with the seal & bearing only?

3) Or just the cover and the seal?

4) Where is the bearing outer race pressed into? The seal cover or the crankcase?

5) What is the proper torque of those three torx screws? Yes I know they need Locktite.

6) I came across an old posting by Bill where he states the following "when you pull the plate with the seal and bearing it can stick - be careful not to pull the shaft out of it's seat - it will come out and it is a bear to get back in place properly (believe me we did it)." What was he saying exactly?

Since I like to have a good idea of the task at hand before I attempt to actually perform the task, I thought I'd ask. Sounded like Bill ran into an issue that I'd rather avoid if possible.

Thanks!

I guess I can assume what Bill was saying that the bearing comes out with the cover but don't pull the shaft with it ?

 

remove the torx screws & the plate comes off, use an allen key as a lever to push out the oil nozzel, when you withdraw the shaft the starter clutch will drop down, don't panic, as long as you dont push the drive gear off the back, the rollers & springs will stay in place, the bearing comes off with the shaft, it is a push fit in the cover plate, there is an 'o' ring on the nozzel, don't know how important it would be to change that.
getting back to you in a sec' with the torque for the torx.

1) When pulling the seal/bearing cover out, does the shaft & bearing come with it? Or to put it another way, do I want it to?

>>> the shaft and bearing may try to come out with the bearing cover, but keep some pressure on the shaft to prevent it fromt doing so. The bearing typically will stay with the shaft.

2) Or does the cover come out with the seal & bearing only?

>> see above answer!

3) Or just the cover and the seal?

This is what should happen....actually, the cover and it's o-ring and the seal will come out as one unit

4) Where is the bearing outer race pressed into? The seal cover or the crankcase?

>>> well, it's not really "pressed" into anything, it fits into a machined recess in the crankcase.

5) What is the proper torque of those three torx screws? Yes I know they need Locktite.
