Wondering if anyone here has rebuilt their own alernator and if it is a decent savings by doing it yourself? I haven't done extensive searching for our vehicles, but it does look like there are several companies that sell alternator rebuild kits for various brand alternators.

 

I never have done it. If I remember right they are cheep like $20 or so. The manual has the rebuild section on it. If you got the time, go for it. Sounds like fun. I wish I could offer more advice. Maybe check Youtube for a tutorial video.

 

As long as you have the right tools it's a easy job, at most if you take your time 2 hours to do everything (that included cleaning) if you rush (I wouldn't take that route) 45 min. If I can trust my 10 year old nephew to do it, it's gotta be easy

 

Any sources on where to get this kit from?

 

Most part stores carry them, but if you had to there is a company in West Haven, CT called UPE give them a shout, they always did a bang up job for me. Either that or check with some of the performance stores in your area.
