Subject:alternator rear bearing replacement
From:Jeffrey Lubin
Date:Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:49:27 -0400

My alternator needs a new rear bearing, but otherwise seems to be
working just fine.
Being both a cheapskate and a sufferer from an exaggerated sense of my
own mechanical abilities, I'm thinking of doing this bearing replacement
myself, instead of buying a new or rebuilt one.
Is this a bad idea?  If not, any helpful tips or web links for me?  I
already found the following link, which makes it look not so hard:

Thanks.
