87 prelude alternator 1.8L
Hey everyone,
Well I ordered an alternator off of EBay. May not have been smart, but the guy had a really good rating. Anyways, I got it, and I took it to the local autoparts store to test it, and it passed. BUT it was also making a lot of noise, IE the bearing. No big deal, that bearing sells for like $1.10 at my buddy's work. So I take it apart to replace the bearing and......... One of the damn brushes is broken! So now the question is: Is there a way to replace the brushes on this alternator? I don't have the shop manual for this car. I do have the Accord Manual, but it shows that there are screws to remove the brush assembly, and those screws are not present on this alternator. Any ideas? I think I have a set of brushes that will work, if I can only remove the broken one. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Terry |

oh ya, and i figured out how to remove the
brushes, they are just soldered in place, so i put the soldering iron on the bottom of the housing where the wires stick out, and POP, out they come. coooool. And I found some brushes at a local auto electric shop. Thanks! t |
