pull it apart, take the bearings to a bearing shop and ask them to match them. $20 ish.

go to an auto sparky with the old brushes and ask for a new pair. approx $10. solder in new brushes, reassemble alternator, whiz bang good as new for less than a slab.

What type of Toyota. I know where you can get a brand new alternator for HJ61 Landcruiser (after market but exactly the same) for about $400.00 instead of $1500 genuinie.

Its a 94 hilux, 22R petrol. Keep the ideas coming though.
Need to get back on the road asap so need a quick fix but will probably replace bearings etc and have a spare when i get a chance.
Basically looking for a cheap quick solution at the moment :?

it's $30 and 2 hours - it doesn't get any cheaper and faster!
