Alternator - oil bearings

[martinwcox]

I think my alternator bearings are on the way out. With the alternator in the truck still is hard to see if there is any way to oil the bearings.

Any advice on if this is possible and how, is there an oil way etc to apply oil?

TIA

Martin.

They have sealed bearings. Replace them.

Ah, in that case do the usual suppliers have kits or can you just go to NAPA etc?

Thanks.

Might be a good time to bring it to an auto electric shop, get them to rebuild it for you.

Probably the best approach.

So happens TNJ Murray has them (alternators) on sale ending today, not cheap but cheaper so I orderd one, will get the current one rebuilt and have on hand as a spare.
