This is actually a super interesting lost process. When you needed an alternator in the Old days, mechanics used to rebuild them now they just replace them. Super cool to see this guy do it

Old days? I knew a guy who paid his way through NADC, Nashville Auto Diesel College, rebuilding starters and alternators. Which he learned how to do while attending NADC. This was maybe 16 years ago. People can still repair starters and alternators. Problem is not many people want to. Whether it's having it rebuit or rebuilding it. Easy way is the best way is the slogan of today.

Nice, do you think rectifiers and other parts need to be replaced? Or can be cleaned properly and the alternator would start working again.

This is beyond most people's ability. In fact most do not have all the tools, the press or the vise. I appreciate the work that went into it.

Good video to be fair it's nice to see something rejuvenated instead of buying new so props to you for that the only slight thing is should of masking tape the mounting bracket as cars use the bracket as the ground, other than that it looks great though, I don't understand the folk that saying bad things , keep up these restoration type videos they are good to watch, and make a different change of pace

Painting "ground" connections is a lame thing to do. No "perfection" here.

This saved me on a 1990s rare alternator that could not be bought or replaced on an old JDM vehicle, I even found out I could use a different regulator in the body thanks to you and how to dissasemble it!! Thank you!

Cool video but I would offer one recommendation. When cleaning the stator core iron laminations always run your cleaning tool parallel to the laminations. If you run the tool across the laminations and accidentally smear some metal across the laminations you will short the laminations together potentially creating a hot spot in the core.

Good work. I did something very similar with mine. Just a note, the mounting point where it's connected to the engine bracket is actually a negative terminal, so you may want to sand off the paint from there. Otherwise, it will give negative through the bolts, which is not always good.

WOW - a 10 of 10 !!!! Great Work!

I came here to study rebuilding an alternator for my Dodge Ram 1500 work truck. While I can afford a new one, I just knew there was a more affordable way cost wise; not sure if it’s more efficient time-wise. Nonetheless, I think I will buy the new alternator, and learn to rebuild the old one using this video and others. I’m even considering pulling the new one after the rebuild, and just use the new one as a backup. This was a satisfying watch start to finish. I think the only skill I like at this point is soldering which I can acquire with some training as well. Lastly, I’d need to acquire a few of the tools he used that I don’t have, but most everything else is covered. Thanks for the vid brother; straight to the point, and great visuals and title guides, oh AND NO TALKING 😂!!! Gained another subscriber.
