1992 240: With the alt belts squealing due to the alignment I removed the alternator to replace the bushings. Notes, remove battery ground, remove oil pressure connection and two wires to alt, loosen the alt, move the belts over, remove the adj bracket nut and long bolt, oops, found the harness clamp, drop out from bottom after moving the heater hose out of the way. I was a little concerned about the third bushing removal and having to remove the harmonic balancer but found that the bracket has enough angle movement with a little pressure on the bushing.

Now, with 198k on the clock, I had to look at the brushes. It is hard to tell how much time is left since I cannot see how much the brushes push in. This is an 80 amp, marked Volvo and Bosch. The brushes, on the spring side, are held in place by small stamped metal brackets riveted to the regulator. This has me stumped a little. Or does the whole regulator have to be replaced?

I have seen instruction with picts but my search keywords did not locate them. Can someone give me a link?

Thanks in advance.
Tom
