ballpark labor and partAbout how much to change alternator bearing.. quick 10 points?
What kind and year of car is this??? In my neighborhood there is an alternator rebuild shop. There, they can press in and out new bearings. On a good day they charge me $50, but it depends on which alternator made by WHO! The good thing about this is that if this is a foreign car-maker, e.g. Bosch, I can purchase genuine Bosch bearings and have them installed together with a good cleaning. Good Luck!!About how much to change alternator bearing.. quick 10 points?
you dont just change the bearing. you change the whole alternator. with a rebuilt one.
probably 100-150 with the core so youre looking at maybe 300About how much to change alternator bearing.. quick 10 points?
Depends upon the alternator. For your typical Delco domestic unit, you can source the unit for under 100 bucks, and it'll depend on the car - should be an hour to two hour's labor - about 120 bucks.
Total - 300-350 bucks for most fwd domestics. Add about 50-100 bucks for an import for the more expensive parts (unless its sourced as a generic auto-parts store replacement).About how much to change alternator bearing.. quick 10 points?
Not to insult the man before me....you can get it fixed......places replace brushes and other parts in them all the time....last one i had fixed cost about 60-85 bucks and i have had it for 2 years, and it still works fine.....contact your local alternator and starter repair shop.About how much to change alternator bearing.. quick 10 points?
Are you sure it's the bearing? I ask this because a shorted diode will often create a slip/skip type noise that mimics a bad bearing pretty closely.
Your most accurate estimate will come from an auto electrical repair shop in your area. You might as well count on new brushes and perhaps some commutator work as well.
Compare the estimate with the price of a rebuilt unit and then decide.
