Mine is still going strong after cleaning the crap out of the worn out brushes i should replace them sometime soon and the bearing lol.
Sounds like this thread could save a few people from wasting their money on a new alternator.

Ok, alternator is all fixed.

The problem was after it shorted out the brushes heated up and wouldn't expand so they needed to be replaced.

Good stuff, that was a cheap fix.

We should of gotten you to have a look at what the bearing numbers are while it was apart.
