Claim Text:
1. A method for separating an intercoupled assembled stator core from a non-vertically oriented generator frame, comprising: providing a generator, which includes an assembled stator core having a lamina stack of individual laminations that are retained in compressed axial and radial alignment by an opposed pair of stator core end plates and axially oriented bolts that are coupled to the respective end plates; a generator frame that circumscribes the assembled stator core; and coupling members for coupling the assembled stator core and frame; decoupling respective coupled stator core and frame coupling members; interposing at least one sliding member between the stator core and frame; and sliding the respective assembled stator core and frame relative to each other on the at least one sliding member, without removing individual laminations from the assembled stator core lamina stack, so that they are separated from their initially coupled relative positions.
