Victory Lap GMA-04 Alternator Repair Kit

The GMA-04 kit worked great for my alternator. The rear bearing is usually the one that goes bad and not the front. My alternator was working properly but the bearing was making noise. From experience, I know that leaving it this way, the bearing will eventually fail completely and could cause more damage to the alternator. At some point, the shaft could stop spinning or begin to spin crooked causing the serpentine belt to be thrown off while driving. This could cause damage to the belt, and also leave you stranded!You will need a soldering iron to disassemble and also solder to reassemble your alternator. Also a puller is helpful for seperating the housing (you can rent one from your local Autozone or Advance store).Customer service for the product is, in my opinion A+, if you happen to need it. The toll free number is on the package.A voltage regulator is not included in this kit. The regulator does not often go bad. There is, however, a new bridge rectifier with this kit.I highly recommend this kit (I got it for around $30 from Amazon) and it saved me about $70 - $80 compared to buying a remanufactered alternator from my local parts store. Even at it's regular price, you can save $40 - $50.Contents include the following:1 - 6202 rear bearing1 - 6303 front bearing1 - diode bridge rectifier with heat sink compound1 - brush holder with brushesIt takes a little time and patience, but if you're into fixing your own stuff, you will appreciate this kit.Jeff

The kit worked great, but, this is not for an inexperienced person. Despite their description, it is not an easy, straight forward install. Takes some tools not everyone will have and a like a solder gun and the experience to use it.

i installed these parts into my alternator and i noticed that they weren't quite once it everything was put together. i even machined the rotor inside the alternator so it was smooth so i wouldn't have any problems. it made a loud roaring sound once the alternator was put back into the car. it didn't last a month and i was stuck at a gas station with no help from anyone. its ok if you like playing Russian roulette not knowing when your alternator is gonna die again. just buy a new alternator.

What a great Kit! Not only did it include all the parts and instructions to repairmy CS130D Alternator but it saved me over 120$ and I learned something new!The local Auto parts store wanted over 140$ to give me a re manufactured alternator made in chinawhich i really didn't trust so I decided to go ahead and give this a shot.The kit was very thorough it has pictures and well worded instructions.One thing to note for future buyers is you will need to do some soldering if you plan onreplacing the bridge rectifier. Otherwise it was a pretty simple rebuild.Im very happy with the quality and price through Amazon!

The CS130D alternator in my 2001 Chevy S10 beater truck had a bad bearing that was making noise. This was a cheap way to make it better, but If it was my daily driver, I would have it rebuilt or buy a new re manufactured one. It wasn't an easy fix, and there were lots of ways to screw up. Do not attempt unless you have a well equipped workshop. Instructions were surprisingly good, and there are also good tips on youtube.

AFTER INSTALLING BEARINGS AS IN THE INSUCTION SAY AND PUT TWO HAVE TOGHER BRUSH HOLD PUSHED OUT AND BROKE.WILL NOT BUY AGAIN.

Does not fit a cs130d or at least not my year just broke the whole brush assembly because the bearing is the worst size

When I received my shipment the plastic brush holder was broken. The directions regarding removal of the front bearing leave a lot to be desired. It works better to carefully chisel back the overlap and drill holes between the bearings until the metal piece falls out. Then the bearing drives out easily. When I followed the company's directions the stator frame bounced out of my vise and one stator winding was bent and the front bearing had not budged. It is also best to remove the old brushes from the old holder before attempting to drive the rotor and slip rings out. That way you can save the old brush holder for reuse.

Pour réparer alternateur de voiture,très bon service de la compagnie de pièce et Amazon

Cumple con las especificaciones necesarias para la reparacion del alternador de un camioneta gmc jimmy del año 95.Muy recomendable.

Good kit with good instructions - brush housing contacts are different to original and cracked easily when tried to install. Original brush housing had to be destroyed to be removed so ended up with a non-working alternator. Need better quality brush housing.
