The current alt for my 94 has a crack in the front section of aluminum. I purchased a used alt off ebay for $10. I tested the alt and the guy says the bearings sound bad so I thought about swapping the internals. Can this be done? I have taken the back section off but dont have a clue how to get the internal separate from the front aluminum half. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

You mean the shell is cracked, right.

Yeah, there is no problem swapping housings. Should be a piece of cake. Although I don't know how the two halves are held together; Hopefully they are just bolted together.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

The bearing is pressed into the housing. That's the hardest part to change.

Thanks for the info.. After trying to get the spindle or whatever you call it out I realized that the wires are soldered in and they need to be removed. After that it came apart no problem. I will have to change the front bearing though. Anyone ever change the rear bearing or brushes?
