2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission rear alt bearing

[Threewolves]

What is the best way to remove the rear bearing on a bosch alternator. I guess I am not phrasing it right for the search. Paul

Should be able to pry it off the shaft using two pry bars. Be careful not to bend the cooling fins. If it doesn't want to budge you may have to use a small 2 jaw puller.

JR,

Thanks, Sorry, I had a bit of a hard time driving out the front bearing, I was expecting the same with the back. I was taking a break thinking I couldn't get at it with our bending the fins, the puller I have is just a little big, either leave the old one on or cut it off. I thought screw it, I'll just cut it off. I went out in the garage I have nothing to loose, had some small pry bars, that kind of fit. The bearing popped right off. I should have tried that first instead of worrying about. Other than the issue with the front bearing it was one of the easiest things I have done. I replaced the fuel injector pump and the in tank fuel pump last summer.

The video I was watching shows after the front bearing being removed, a bearing being cut off. Upon a closer look it is the front being cut off. The video never shows the rear bearing being removed.
