Re: Alternators- Anyone rebuilt them, themselves(especially bearings)

["Daniel Brideau" <dan@hobbyetc.com>]

No one will argue that a new German unit or a properly rebuilt unit from is
the most desirable route.

It's tough to beat a lifetime warranty out of a national chain for 99.95.
Even if the unit fails two or three times, you will never need to spend a
dime again.
