Have you actually checked? Nippondenso oem parts for alternators are not easily found. Most places sell Regitar or Transpo from China...I went through this several years ago.

Honda sells some parts of the alternator assembly. However, they are outrageously expensive. Stator assembly on a 2011 Oydessy costs $470 dollars on OEMAcuraparts.com. That is nuts! Rotor costs about $290 on that site. Also nuts!
I had to replace an oil fouled Alternator on a Honda J35 and I was wondering if I should attempt to clean it and rebuild it or if I should just turn the core in for $50. Is it hard to rebuild and what parts would I need to do the job? I have never done one before. Thanks.
Just had this issue on 2009 Pilot. I bought reman Denso from NAPA and turned in my old one for core, despite being tempted to rebuild it. MAKE SURE you replace the VTEC solenoid on top of the alternator. Or at least replace its gaskets. That is the part that is leaking oil, and it will kill the new/rebuilt alternator, if those gaskets are not replaced. See my post below for more info and pictures.
Put the heater hose in the '08 Mountaineer. Dorman did indeed screw up (SOP for Dorman) and the lower line is 3/4 when it should be 5/8" I had some 5/8" heater hose and it slips over the Dorman "Y" with minimal difficulty. It's not molded but doesn't really matter.
If you are doing it as a learning experience I say go for it. If you are doing it to save money and end up with a rebuilt back up alternator then give it up as a core.
