Alternator Rebuild

Having switched out my OEM alternator for a high output replacement it is a good idea to keep a spare in good working order for when the need may arise. In this video, I'll tear down the old OEM alternator and rebuild it with new parts to keep it in like new conditions. The idea being to keep this in the truck in case the non-OEM HO alternator decides to fail in an inopportune time.
Notes:
22mm nut on pulley torqued to 81 ft-lbs
List of all part numbers:
27370-75060 Brush Assembly
27388-42010 Brush Cover
27443-63020 Bearing Cover
90099-10140 Bearing (rear)
90099-10192 Bearing (front)
27064-42010 Seal Sub-assembly
27384-50030 Washer
27387-42021 Insulation Washer
27389-42010 Terminal Insulator (need 4)

I'm not even looking to rebuild and alternator and you had me watching from start to finish with your EXCELLENT step-by-step instruction with very helpful commentary all along the way. Practice this method and your channel and you'll grow exponentially, as others are lacking in this type of quality production.

You all used OEM replacement parts? Any recommendations on aftermarket replacement parts that work "just as well" like from denso/aisin or something? My 4runner is just a DD beater type of vehicle. I don't need everything to be best of the best if you know what I mean

Great job there! I'm currenly replacing both bearings on an alternator a lot like yours if not the same....I root caused an annoying sound to those bearings...but now I dunno...Anyways, my question to you if I may is what is the purpose of that little washer you replaced in front of one of them bearinngs? I mean, I don't have it new and wonder if that was the source of the annoying sound at start up....would it be ok not to place it at all? I could always reuse the old one anyhow... Cheers!

I've replaced bearings and racers on my boat trailer. Basically you just need a hammer and a socket like he did on some steps. Easy shmeasy. Gentle tapping is all that's really necessary. But a press is nice!

Great video bud! I did notice a leftover screw on the bench tho. JK. 😆 How much will I generally spend for all the parts to do a complete rebuild like this? Is it a kit you buy? And how long does it take generally, about 3 hours? These questions will determine if it's worth it to me to spend the time to rebuild one myself. And what is the most common problem as to why an alternator even "goes out"? Is it the brushes? or can it be the rectifier or the regulator? Don't those need to be tested to find out if that's the actual reason it croaked?

@@WeekendWrenchTurner, My GMC alternator is rated at 105 amps. I'm getting a "new" one (not reman) off rockauto for $152 shipped. Plus the amps are upgraded to 258. This is all doable, but personally, I just don't think it's worth the effort to rebuild it myself if the parts are $100 bucks.

I was able to get the bearing off using two long pairs of needle nose pliers. I pried up between the cooling fins so as not to damage them. I sort of hit on the pliers like I was trying to pop the bearing off and it worked after about 8 slams on the plier handles. Two long screwdrivers could also work as pry bars and pop it off being careful not to damage anything. There is room under the bearing to try a puller but the one I have wouldn't work.
