Experiences replacing alternator bearings (or having a shop do it) 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Michael Hale on  Fri Nov 10 10:38 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I just dropped in a new brush pack/regulator unit into my alternator (the original alternator). This is the second replacement brush pack in 243500. At any rate, the alternator now has excellent output, but I noticed when replacing the regulator unit that the bearings should probably be replaced sometime soon...they feel slightly loose, but spin freely without binding. Do any of you all have any experience in either replacing the bearings in the alternator yourself or having an auto electric shop do it. I'd rather replace bearings in this than go to the expense of buying a new (factory rebuilt) alternator ($$$), especially since this alternator's output is perfect. Thanks for the suggestions...
