Josh, Maybe you can find a local who does this work on the side and has a good repuation. Myself I've learned to do it myself. I get the bearings from Bearings Inc. and the biggest problem is getting the diodes that won't blow out. Newark Electronics may have them. I use an eraser to clean and shine the rotor shaft. It was all OJT. I had bought alternators from Twin "B" which was bought out by someone then went under. I had problems with their alternators until I found out I had to REALLY tighten the alterator belt. We also have a local person that from what I understand does excelent work, and warrentes it. Good Luck.
