Replacing the brushes isn't that hard, but you'll want to clean up the
armature (where the brushes make contact) and replace the
bushings/bearings..Your shop manual shows how to rebuilg the gen..
The only time I don't rebuild is when the armature is shot as new ones are a
couple hundred bux or if I'm on the road and don't have any choice...
Hope this helps..

alternative to exchanging? Is replacing brushes easy?
