I took my alternator apart to inspect it and clean up the case. Surprisingly the bearings and brushes were in great shape so I opted to keep them.

I am going to reassemble it however I am not sure what type of grease I should use on the front the bearing. The original grease looked like wheel bearing grease. Can I use the same wheel bearing grease that I use on my front discs for this bearing?

A high temp grease should do the trick. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif

richr, Since you already have the alt apart, why not put new bearings in. They are cheap and easy to do. Just mt 0.02.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of the low price is forgotten.

Leo,

Thks for the advice, I called my parts guy today and ordered the bearings, brushes and diodes. What the heck, got it all apart may as well replace everything.
