slt 700 stator removal

[electricgeoff]

I am trying to remove my stator to put it in another ski, so I don't want to damage it but, I can't get the grommit from the electrical box through the engine case.

Come on someone has changed a stator I just want to know if I need to cut the wires or, is there a trick to getting the grommit through the case.

I just changed the one in my Hurricane and did NOT have to cut any wires, it should come right through the case with no issue.

Grease it up real good.

Here's a photo of the unit out of the craft.
IF you wind up cutting the wires it would be a good time to add a waterproof connector so you can easily test at a later date. No splitting the electrical box for testing, how nice is that??

Yours looks just like mine but, mine will not come close to coming through the hole. I have greased it and put a string between the wires to pull it through. It has a flat ridge around it maybe I should trim off that ring.

Squeeze the OD with some pliers.

I trimmed it some and I was able to push it through.
