Is it possible to replace the brushes? Couldn't find them available at Signiture or FordPartsonLine.





I replaced my voltage regulator about a year ago, with about 47k miles, 4 yrs old. Then, I just replaced my brushes about two weeks ago, at 50,500 miles. Should have done the brushes when I did the voltage regulator!!! I think eventually I'm going to have to bite the bullet and replace the entire thing.

So, yes, all parts of the alternator can be replaced individually, I got them at Napa.
