*Remove the rectifier Diodes or diode assembly and install the new one(s). If you have to solder use good techniques, clean and shiny connections, using 60/40 lead/tin solder. If soldering the silicon diodes do not overheat the diodes, 7 seconds at soldering temps is a safe limit. Better yet use clips to sink the heat away from the diode body. | *Remove the rectifier Diodes or diode assembly and install the new one(s).
