you are supposed to start off by removing the side cover and starter motor...
I'm not sure if the starter motor is really in the way? Maybe it is for the alternator wire, because after removing these two items you have to remove the alternator wire from all the guides and clamps.
The manual says engine oil will run out if the alternator cover is removed, so if I do decide to do this I'll be performing it with an oil change and drain it before attempting to remove the cover.
I don't think the parts should be loose, but after removing the starter reduction cover and O-ring (will need a new O-ring, per manual) the gear shaft and starter reduction gear will need to be removed. Once done you can remove all the bolts and alternator cover (the manual has a note saying the stator is magnetically attracted to the flywheel and to be careful)
Once the cover is off, the alternator wire can be disconnected from the stator after removing its bolt and clamp and the stator can be removed after taking out its 4 bolts that will need to be torqued down to 9lbf-ft
To put it back together you would need to apply sealant (three bond 1207B) to the alternator wire grommet and torque the mounting bolt to 9lbf-ft as well
Also need sealant on the "mating surfaces" of the crankcase and alternator cover.
It specifies to tighten the bolts on the cover in a "crisscross pattern" (no torque spec)
and to put oil on the starter reduction gear, gear shaft and new O-ring.
Install the starter reduction cover and from here all you will have left to do is secure the wire and installing the starter motor and side cover.
This is great thanks.
She burned her leg on the pipe, it will be a while be for she gets the courage to try again. She feels bad about dropping it, but hey I'm glad she wasn't hurt worse. The repair post are great thanks to all
Ouch, how bad is the burn?
