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

posted by  someone claiming to be Roger Huggins on  Sat Nov 11 05:27 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I have done this before, (although it's been a few years,) and I don't recall that I had any big problems. George has a very good point about the wear in the commutator. I think I was able to get the old bearings out reasonably well, (I didn't care if I damaged the races, since they were going in the trash anyway,) and I'm pretty sure I had a press to install the new bearings.

When I lived in the "rust belt" I had more of a problem with the windings failing on alternators. (It was actually a volkswagen that gave me all that grief - it's alternator was low and in front, with no splash shield to keep the salt spray out of it.)
