Denso Alternator Rebuild? Advise

[maverickfhs]

Planning to see what options I have before I give away the current Denso alternator, can it be rebuild?

I can see diodes are available as a separate : https://www.maniacelectricmotors.com/77904070.html

But when I try to pull the diode pack, can see copper wires attached to it. Has anyone done it and can advise? Thank you

Diodes connections are soldered. Why not find a local shop and have it rebuilt? I much prefer to have my original alternator rebuilt instead of pot luck on mass rebuilds.

Watch part 1 and 2.

@Trav , thank you it definitely is an interesting build and design compared to a lot of Toyota where diodes are just plug and play.

Anyone else looking for something similar, here is a link for a PDF - very helpful and self explanatory. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...d=1446021097&usg=AOvVaw1vneY6AaYkRam3XoTMaWRA

@Trav and Gang , running into a new problem now.

Once I have installed the new diode bridge on the wires, wires are a bit short on the plastic collar ear of the diode pack - can't really crimp or solder them.

Can I extend the wires or any trick for it? Thank you
