The Victory Lap GMA-04 Alternator Repair Kit worked great, it was very thorough it has pictures and well worded instructions. The rear bearing is usually the one that goes bad and not the front. My alternator was working properly but the bearing was making noise. From my experience, I know that leaving it this way, the bearing will eventually fail completely and could cause more damage to the alternator. At some point, the shaft could stop spinning or begin to spin crooked causing the serpentine belt to be thrown off while driving. This could cause damage to the belt and other pulley bearings (water pump, idler, etc etc)
You will need a soldering iron to disassemble and also solder to reassemble your alternator. Also a puller is helpful for seperating the housing (you can rent one from your local Autozone or Advance store).
Customer service for the product is, in my opinion A+, if you happen to need it. The toll free number is on the package.
If your alternator is putting out a voltage MUCH higher than 14 - 14.5 V, then you need a voltage regulator which is not included in this kit. The regulator does not often go bad. There is, however, a new bridge rectifier with this kit.
I highly recommend this kit (I got it for around $30 from Amazon) and it saved me about $70 - $80 compared to buying a remanufactered alternator from my local parts store. Even at it's regular price, you can save $40 - $50.
Contents include the following:
1 - 6202 rear bearing
1 - 6303 front bearing
1 - diode bridge rectifier with heat sink compound
1 - brush holder with brushes
It takes a little time and patience, but if you're into fixing your own stuff, you will appreciate this kit.
