"Engine in generator removal": Remove battery, and air cleaner........Remove 
carburetor, place rag in throat of intake manifold......using 36 mm (or 1 
7/16")  socket, reach around fan housing and remove nut, keeping track of 
shims between fan and nut, last washer is a lock washer and has a square 
opening to fit fan mount (note: lock generator like you are removing fan 
belt) holding fan on back of gen. shaft, fan nut is very tight so a breaker 
bar is a must!.......remove fan belt, and wires from generator........remove 
generator clamp, by just loosening enough to slide back off generator 
stand.........remove 4) 10 mm head bolts on generator mounting 
plate.......tilt generator forward, and separate fan from mounting spacer 
(keeping track of and amount of shims) these shims space fan and keep it 
from rubbing housing.....leave fan in fan housing, remove generator....... 
remove fan mount from generator shaft, maintaining woodruff 
key........remove 2) 10 mm head nuts holding generator mounting 
flange......... Install in reverse order!

Place shim stock under turn signal housing and re-tighten screws.

ps: I have found it "almost as quick and easy to pull the motor than wiggle 
my fat ass up in there working on my knees". Of course if you have a lift 
all that is mute!

The turn signal housing slides up and down when I put turn signal on. The 
screws are tight. How do I fix this?

Also, is it possible to remove the generator without pulling the engine. The 
weather around here is awful. We've been getting some sort of precipitation 
about every other day and I have to work in the driveway.
