 6115-01-458-0096, have some mercy on the output stud nut.

There should be a decal beside the stud nut that lists the proper torque requirement of 16 lb-ft. When some generators were rebuilt, however, the decal was removed.

As a result, some mechanics don't tighten the stud nut enough while others tighten it too much. Too loose and the nut will vibrate free. Too tight and the insulator insulator

Substance that blocks or retards the flow of electric current or heat. An insulator is a poor conductor because it has a high resistance to such flow. Electrical insulators are commonly used to hold conductors in place, separating them from one another and from
 may be damaged.

And no LocTite, either. That affects the torque value and can cause damage.

THAT RATTLING IS DRIVING ME CRAZY! WHAT IS IT?

THE MECHANIC DIDN'T TORQUE MY GENERATOR'S OUTPUT STUD NUT TO 16 LB-FT!
