Not much to rebuilding them. Less than $50 for brushes and bearings.

Where can you get the brushes and bearings from to rebuild the alternator?

 

[4piknup]

Bearing shop for bearings.
I got last brushes from altronics. Not sure if you have them. You can get them on ebay im sure.

Cheers. What would i be referring to when asking/searching for the brushes? Sizes etc. Excuse my noobness....

Dunno. Take yours out and look at them and size them up. They are cheaper if you can solder the pigtails into the holders. Or more expensive if you get them in holders already.
What is wrong with yours?

Front one i bet... it gets the load from the belt.
Careful getting the front nut off. Sometimes they seem to flog the threads, maybe to lock the nut on.
you may need to grind the shaft end to fix it.
Pull the rear cover and put armature in vice to undo the nut. When rear cover is off, you can see brushes. There is a service length listed for them, but they prolly ok, and easy enough to change later.
the brushes are carbon. So easy to file them to size if new ones are a little big.
