Honda 6500 Watt Generator EG6500CL AT Rotor Replacement

Introduction

This guide shows how to remove and replace the rotor for the Honda 6500 Watt Generator EG6500CL AT.

Warning: You need a Honda rotor puller tool (07HPC-ZC2010A or 07HPC-ZC2010B) in order to complete this procedure. You will not be able to remove the rotor without this tool.

This procedure shows how to complete the procedure without removing the generator from the frame.

You will need some wooden blocks between 2-4 inches thick to support the generator and rotor. You will also need a metal rod or extra large screwdriver in order to brace and lock up the generator axle.
