Alternator repair kit?
I currently have a bad alternator, It works fine but makes a horrible noise on cold start up and improves as the car warms up. The voltage output is fine until I take it up to high rpms 4500+ then it cuts out and everything dims until i let off or it shifts. The noise sounds like bad bearings and I found a repair kit which inlcudes Voltage Regulator, Brush Holder with Brushes, Bearing Drive/End, Rectifier, and (SRE) Bearing. Will this cover it or might it be totally screwed up? I really cant pull the alternator until I have a new one or the repair kit cuz I cant have the car down for any perios of time. Anyone rebuilt one before?

If you can't afford to have the car down, my advice is to spend the money and get a new GM unit - friend of mine went through a couple "rebuilt" ones from parts stores and still didn't work right. JMO
