I am going to rebuild the alternator (bearings are noisy) and was trying to find out bearing sizes so I could go and get them from an industrial place for a few $ as opposed to paying over $100 for the OEM ones. Found a website where they provide bearing sizes based on OEM part number so I thought I'll call the dealer and get numbers from them. Well, that worked...somewhat...but they were really reluctant to give me part numbers and questioned why would I need them - wtf? Is there a website where I can go and search for the part to get its number?
