Archived '96, doing Geno's alternator repair, but ruined something

[KRStone]

Was working on alternator repair on my '96 with Denso alternator.



The repair kit from Geno's (Gould's kit) came with okay instructions.



When pressing the small bearing out of the housing, I got the bearing out but I bungered up this super-thin washer with a lip on it.



Also, a wavy washer came out of the bearing 'cup' in the alternator housing.



So- do I need to find a replacement super-thin washer with a lip on it or am I okay without it?



I've been at this for 2 hours, not as easy job as I thought. Beat on the housings for 45 minutes before I finally got them apart by putting down the instructions and removing the pully and using a hammer on the alternator shaft to get the two halves apart.



Thank you,

An Auto Electric Shop (rebuild Starters,Alternators and find electrical problems) mite have/sell you one.

Well, that little washer with a lip looks like a dust seal for the end of the shaft. I buttoned it back up because I didn't have time to find one.



It's probably be some sort of a dust seal/water seal.



If I MUST have it, I'll get one and install it in a few weeks.

I thought lots of people would chime in on this one with their personal experience.
