alternator

Bearing does not care about mounting style



Your alternator is highly likely to be a 3G 130-amp model.



If the copper slip rings have wear grooves have a rebuilder REPLACE them which demands truing them in a lathe.

Use a TORKS T-10 SOCKET with ratchet on those tight voltage regulator screws and a 15/16" socket with an impact gun on the front rotor pulley shaft

The universal bearing is a part number 6303

ALWAYS replace the rear bearing part number A6000

In my fussy likes and dislikes, I prefer the

NTN brand bearing

LUA model.


Buy new brushes in a brush holder too.

Ahhhhhhh, Mr. Wanderer, did you make a typo? The universal front alternator bearing is a 6203DD........

If it is original 2001 I would simply buy a new alternator.
Best of luck with the self rebuild.

I would first google starter/alternator repair near me

Ok so when I last did this Google was.. Not.. (but the shop was near enough I passed it on my way to church).

If you are not up to bearing work pull the thing and take it to the shop. takes less than 30 minutes to re-build it.

In my case it was not the bearing but other parts. way cheaper then even a rebuilt from auto-parts place. every bit as good as new .

If you want to try the repair route first, why not yank the bad bearing, it should have a number on it to identify it for replacement?
