Today, I took the alternator/generator assembly from the automatic transmission and handed it to my wife who is a mechanical engineer. I asked her "How would you take that apart?" She looked it over for a moment and pointed to a seam between where the drive shaft is and the housing and said "Pry it there, the two pieces of plastic are different.. you can see where there's a seam" I took it into the garage and clamped it into a vice just enough to hold it. I grabbed the body of the housing and gave it a good twist and wouldn't you know, the whole generator assembly came out. I posted a bunch of photos in the photos section under "Take Apart Automatic trans alternator" I hope this helps others. Thanks again for all the great info from everyone here!
