Broke a generator stud...easy fix?

I'm doing a total rewire on King Of Trucks ('55 2nd series Chevy with 235/genny). I broke the stud on one of the terminals on the generator. Is there an easy fix for this? What do I do? And pardon my stupidity, this is my first genny trouble.

Thanks in advance for the help. I know squirrel will be along shortly with great advice.

 

can you drill it/tap it or open the case and replace it from the back side?? post a picture of the problem, if you can??

 

Gonna have to pull the armature out for access , possibly remove the field coil

 

That's not what I wanted to hear. But thanks.

 

Not that I doubt shortbed, just looking for more input. Anybody? Squirrel?

 

Which stud? It's been thirty years since I had one of those in my hands that wasn't being thrown in the s**** bin but there should be a simple solution.

If it is the ground stud you can drill and tap it an be done with it.
the others should connect to the field coils or the brushes on the back side and should go through some sort of insulated sleeve.

Pull it apart and you should be able to see the inside of the stud connected to a wire that either goes to the Field coils or to two of the brushes. I think you can use a small punch to knock it out to the inside and then either it goes through a loop wire end or the wire is soldered to the end of the stud.

Other than that it is Hi Ho and off to the local auto electric shop to have it fixed.<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

 

It's not the ground stud. It's one of the other terminals. Can't remember at the moment if it's "A" or "F".

 

probably gonna have to take the generator apart. You needed to learn about them anyways. Be sort of careful with the brushes.

 

I figured as much. I did need to learn about them anyways. I hate learning though cause it always means I've broken something, lol.

 

how do you think I know so much?
