Claim:
1. A method of servicing a stator frame of a power generator comprising: removing a first stator core from a main housing of the stator frame; removing a plurality of first dove-tail shaped keybars that extend axially within and are coupled to a main support structure forming part of the main housing of the stator frame; and replacing the first dove-tail shaped keybars from the stator frame with a plurality of second keybars by installing the second keybars in the main support structure where the first dove-tail shaped keybars were previously located, the second keybars adapted to support a second stator core, each of the second keybars having a generally rounded engagement surface, the second stator core having recesses with shapes corresponding to the generally rounded engagement surfaces of the second keybars such that the second stator core can be securely supported by the main support structure via the second keybars.
