Congrats!
Did you try pulling the brushes once the alt was out of the car?
Replaced the alternator with an Advanced Auto lifetime warranty
Bosch reman. $135 when it was all said and done.
When I got under the car there was no way I could get the back cover
off in situ, so I went ahead and just pulled the alternator.
Relatively simple job, except getting it out. MB recommends pulling
the fan, but that was going to be a PITA so I dropped the sway bar,
which was far easier and much less intrusive.
I struggled for a little bit with deciding to go with the FLAPS
reman, but the more I thought about it, this is a $1200 car, so why
should I be investing big bucks in it?
Everything is back together, it's charging up a storm, and all is
well. Not a bad job at all, maybe a total of an hour and a half
start to finish.
