Default Alternator pulley seized
I just pulled my alternator out to find out the pulley is not spinning. I quickly was able to get it spinning freely again. My question is whether or not I should replace the alternator?

I say yes! If the thing jammed, definitely!

Agreed.

The bearings have died, and if one lets go at revs, oops.

It isn't a hard job nor expensive. I have pictures of my overhaul I did in my restoration thread further down.

The replacement alternator arrived yesterday and I will put it in today.
Thanks for your input!
