Siezed alternator

[Funksolid]

Well I was driving today and my alternator decided to stop spinning...

2H - 24V

Does anyone know whats the best option from here?

Call 4 Wheel auto buy a new one?
Find a rebuild kit (can I get one easily in Calgary)
And would my Yota dealership have anything (Its a sunday and everyone is closed right now, but good info for tommorow morning)

Thank You

Andrew

In most cases you can rebuild them at a fraction of the cost of a new one. The only thing you have to be careful with is the pump at the back of the alternator. My rebuilt one lasted only for a bit because the splines on the alternator were shot - which at the time I did not pay attention to. Also if you go for a rebuild they can wind it differently so it outputs more Amps which is great if you plan on running extra lights, etc.
