alternator questions 200

posted by  someone claiming to be jkordzi on  Sun Dec 21 12:21 CST 2003 [RELATED]

The voltage on my 93 245 started fluctuating from about 12 to 14 volts every 30 seconds or so. The belts are tight, the wiring is good, and I swapped in a new regulator with no effect. I've concluded that the alternator (80 watt unit) is bad. My questions are:

1. Should I have it rebuilt, rebuild it myself, or buy a rebuilt one? If doing it myself, what's involved?

2. Do the rebuilt ones come w/out the pulley and if so, how do you hold the pulley steady in order to take off the pulley nut on the old alternator?

Thanks.
