How to take alt apart?

Bought rebuild kit for alt (brushes, bearing, etc.)
Can't figure out how to get alt apart to put in new bearing. Brushes are easy. Removed every nut I can find but that sucker won't come apart.
Tried the stickies and the FSM No luck
Someone know how to do this?
TIA

Have you tried "Google"?

I have rebuilt older GM alternators, but have no experience on the Dodge.

Did you remove the pulley? There may be a retaining nut or bolt under the pulley. A 70's era Hitachi used on the Datsun F10 had that set up along with the four nuts and long bolts along the outside of the alt case.

Thanks for reply
Did Google
Took off long bolts and pulley.
I'd rather rebuild than buy new.
Windings rarely go bad

True about windings, unless you manage to gouge them with a screwdriver...been there, done that!
