I did my alternator, nearly same model, using your video. My slip rings were like new, so just new brushes for me. It was very clear how you explained it and it made the job easy for me and saved me $300. I had spent money on a crap chinese one in the past, but now I will do my own in future. Thankyou so much for taking the time. You should be paid!
Thank you very much for helping the community: it was easy to fix my son's alternator (Ford Fiesta 2004) after watching your video. Your explanation was very clear, with many very useful details. Phil, from France
The old pin to hold the brushes away trick! Never seen that before, I was really puzzled how to reassemble the damn thing and this helped A LOT! Thank You !
Great vid WestronicsIrl, I especially liked the accuracy step by step! The only hard part for me is removing and replacing it from my car, front wheel drive with tight access from below the only way to get at it, my problem, but I'll get over it.......... one day! Thanks for the vid!
This was a great video. Really clearly explained and shown. Thanks for taking the time to past this up. Would buy some brushes from you if I was on your side of the world
Great video, dude! My 95 DSM's alternator has been soaked in PS fluid for quite some time, and I don't think it has been through any kind of maintenance ever, also, I'm getting a bad squeal from it's belt, and experiencing some major drops in the voltage as well, so I'm looking forward to pull it out of the car for a well deserved cleaning job plus changing it's brushes. Your video was very helpfull, now I feel I can do it, thank you!
LOved your video. Haven't done one of these since I was a kid, but just replaced my sons alternator with a new one and thought I'd rebuild the old one just for the fun of it. Thanks ......
Great Video. The trick for holding the brushes in was very useful. Since I did not change the brushes I had to push the brushes in further with a dental tool..., Thanks.
I'd like to watch this video before to break a little plastic when I tried enter the shaft. I'll do again, this time thanks to your knowledge. Excellent.
Looks like the same alternator on my mazda which i just took off and put my spare one on for now. I was going to take it to a shop to get it repaired, but after watching this vid i think i will take it apart myself and check the brushes. If they are the cause, i will be ordering some. Big thanks for this.
one of the best video how to repair alternator i've ever seeing!!! it would be better if bearing replacement has been shown - on of the most common problems =)
Very good video, but I think we should use the super fine sandpaper to sand around the surface of copper contact before put it back with the new brush holder.
Hello,Glad that you like the video. All mitsubishi alternators manufactured after 1994 have these brushes in them. Older ones had them too,but not all of them.
Thanks for the vid bro....my first alternator build was a success due mostly due to your excellent video....thanks....mine was a bad solder on the regulator....two times in and out tested good on the bench as it was intermitent ...what a head banger one replacement alternator was a no show so decided to crack the otiginal honda alternator open and voila ...there it was....FUCKKKKKK...what a war ...but I won ...thanks again bro
Hello Ron, I am humbled by you r offer but I think we are all right for solder irons atm. We always have few new ones in the workshop at any given time. Thank you.
Hello mate,glad you like the video. Sadly we dont do anything with distributors,it is a dead trade nowadays. My grandfather used to do it,i will ask him to see can i get some legit ifno off him :D.
You have to be very careful handling the stator, it's very easy to nick and chip off the insulation on the windings. Also, it's very easy to crack the insulation on the wires which connect to the rectifier when moving the stator out of the way to get at that last screw. I managed to do both.
Great video ,well presented, I have flickering lights at idle , brushes have done 90000 miles, flickering goes when revs increase, im getting app 14.5 v charging
Check brush length at 200,000km. The horizontal line on the brush, below the hole, is the wear limit, ie., when they need replacing. See 10:32. However, not all brushes have the limit shown like that.Basically, if you don't have more than 8mm/5/16'' protruding, then it's time to change, or you will wear out the slip ring, because the copper wire inside the brush will rub on it. You can see it on the left hand brush at 7:38. ( He actually broke that one when he pulled the unit apart. )
Excellent video, easy to follow and well presented. One question please. I have the same alternator on a 96 Pajero that suddenly started to 'rattle' under load then it packed in altogether. I replaced it with a spare and all was OK for about five minutes then that started to rattle under load .. It's NOT the bearings. It seems to be over charging. Activator feed is 12.5v, the other feed is only 11.5v the output is constant at 14.5v so it seems to be running at full output non stop. Steve
I have satoh tractor s373d beaver III with mitsubishi ar2115z2 alternator and need diode assy and cannot find replacement parts or replacement alternator, where can I get parts for my alternator, great clear video thanx!
Hello mate, I ame glad that you liked it,makes it all worthwhile. Listing is there,you just have to copy entire url,rather than clicking the link(link is broken). :D
Thank you for this very informative video! A question: What are the steps to remove this alternator from the vehicle if it has the vacuum pump, anything special or just undo everything and no worries? Thanks a lot!
Haha, Totally! Dude, great video, well explained, BUT, for next time you should use Acetylene / Oxygen blowtorch for that brush replacement job :))))))
gday mate. I am doing an A55000 Mitsubishi alternator off a Kubota. I am up to aligning the slip rings with the brushes, the setup is almost identical to the alternator in your video. The alternator has allowance for your method except the brushes themselves, they do not have holes in them, even though they are the genuine part. I am thinking of just carefully drilling a hole myself?
Thanks for the great video! Very helpful. Question - I broke the plastic insulator while pulling the unit from the engine. It seemed very fragile. Where can I get a replacement. I don't want to have to buy a whole rebuilt unit just because of that.
That wire trick to hold the brushes saved my weekend motorcycle ride. Thank you for this great video! 👍
I did my alternator, nearly same model, using your video. My slip rings were like new, so just new brushes for me. It was very clear how you explained it and it made the job easy for me and saved me $300. I had spent money on a crap chinese one in the past, but now I will do my own in future. Thankyou so much for taking the time. You should be paid!
Thank you Sir, you just saved me over $500 Dollars.
Thank you so much. Because of this video I was able to fix my alternator for $5 and a couple hours. Definitely worth it.
watched the video, bought the brushes, fixed the alternator. Brilliant one stop shop. Thank you.

Great video. Clear explanation. Just what I needed for my 2004 GTO Mitsubishi alternator service.
Thanks bro you helped me service my altinator I just got done. It's a same Mitsubishi style altinator but Nissan vehicle. Changed the brushes
awesome, just putting my alternator back together after painting and have been serching how to hold the bushes in, no one showed this, thanks
The old pin to hold the brushes away trick!
Never seen that before, I was really puzzled how to reassemble the damn thing and this helped A LOT!
Thank You !

Very good Video. Nice to see it done in the real world. Brush Kit Fit listing has been removed..!
Very good and easy to understand video saved me around £100 on haveing to buy a recone unit for my Mitsubishi pajero
A thousand thanks! very good video showing how to replace coal in a Mitsubishi generator. Now I'll try it myself on my Peugeot 605
Thanks, straight to the point. Very useful to easily fix my '07 Outback alternator.
Great Video. The trick for holding the brushes in was very useful. Since I did not change the brushes I had to push the brushes in further with a dental tool..., Thanks.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. I have to do the brushes on a 1994 Ford Falcon with Mitsubishi alternator, same as this one.
I'd like to watch this video before to break a little plastic when I tried enter the shaft. I'll do again, this time thanks to your knowledge. Excellent.
Thanks for the detailed video! been looking for this type of alternator exactly.
very informative.

Many thanks for you! This informarmation used me today. I repaired Hitachi 90A now. Very thanks from Sochi ))
one of the best video how to repair alternator i've ever seeing!!! it would be better if bearing replacement has been shown - on of the most common problems =)
Some really good tips. Could do with a smaller soldering iron.
What a nice video !! Very good !! Even a kid can do this stuff after watching this
This was awesome. Thank you for the clear and to the point video
Thanks for the video. I really learned a lot. I just wish I had watched it earlier before damaging my stator winding
great video lad , you've a mad mixed accent, very good at explained stuff cheers
Very well done. Thank you for the clear and to the point video. No bs.
You could use a bigger solder iron, the one you used is a thad SMALL!! lol
Very nicely done, thanks. One thing though, you need a smaller soldering iron... really.
this is exactly what I was looking for, thanks for posting!
Very good video, but I think we should use the super fine sandpaper to sand around the surface of copper contact before put it back with the new brush holder.
Excellent videos from this channel. Very grateful
What you didnt say about the broken brush was that it broke when you parted the alternator because it jammed into the worn slip ring
excellent video, I'm from mexico. and alternator of the eclipse is exactly like my civic 97 thanks brother were a big help
Thanks for this and other alternator vids also. Got mine repaired with new bearings and brushes.
Thanks for taking time to show us the basics. Where would I go to buy the brushes?
Would it be ok if I used a smaller soldering iron
No go bigger on the iron I advise. /joke
JUST JOKING ABOUT THE IRON
Pretty thorough alternator rebuild video.
Gracias Mark. Excelente video. Desde Latinoamérica te mandamos un cordial saludo.
Hello,Glad that you like the video.
All mitsubishi alternators manufactured after 1994 have these brushes in them.

Will keep this in mind when I try cracking open this generator tomorrow. Thnx.

Saved me! Just 5 bucks instead of $200 for a refurbished alternator!
Thank you so much. Now I just have to figure out how to remove the alternator.

thank you for the tipp....konnte nun endlich die Lichtmaschine überholen !!!
That hole in the back detail - for the brushes hold down - is the key!
After working 8yrs I still hate fixing Mitsubishi alternators. Glad to know I'm not the only guy that has to work on them. Lol
Haha, Totally! Dude, great video, well explained, BUT, for next time you should use Acetylene / Oxygen blowtorch for that brush replacement job :))))))
Nice job and very clear your explain sir

you are a very good electromechanic. Youve got professor skills. Consider working at an university
Спасибо за подсказки при сборке.
Very very good video... i'm suscribed. thanks
Thank you so much for this very useful video
Love your Vids , keep up the good work mate!
Thanks for the great video! Very helpful. Question - I broke the plastic insulator while pulling the unit from the engine. It seemed very fragile. Where can I get a replacement. I don't want to have to buy a whole rebuilt unit just because of that.
thank you, thank you, you made it easy and you save me lot of money
Muito bom! Entendi perfeitamente. Parabens! Muito obrigado!
Very good video- cheers. But I think you might need a larger soldering iron...
Dziekuje bardzo twoja lekcja byla bardzo pomocna.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT PROCEDURE,
