How do I disassemble an alternator from a 1988 Corvette to replace the regulator module?

Question:
I have a voltage regulation problem which causes voltage to sometimes spike up to 18V on my 1988 Corvette. I've taken the alternator out, but after removing three bolts that hold the case halves together, it doesn't come apart. What is the secret to getting it apart? It still has the pulley on it, by the way.

Well you have to take the pully off first. To get the pully off use and air impact wrench. The impact wrench will knock the nut loose without having to hold the rotor.
You may have to cut the stator wires also if it is a cs series generator.
To put it back together you must push the brushes back into the holders compressing the springs and then stick a toothpick through a small hole in the back to hold the brushes in. When the two halves are back together pull out the toothpick to release the brushes.

Which car do u think are faster honda cars are volkswagen cars?

a piece of cake. remove the three long bolts,and the rear casing will pull off.the brushes may hang up on the rotor,just be careful. with very light sandpaper clean the two rotors. purchase new voltage regulator.follow instructions that will come with it. use a tooth pick or paper clip to depress brushes,re-install. make sure that you mark casing b-4 separating.
