I bought a used one for $20. I wanted to check it out before pressing it
into service, and I figured rightly that the brushes were gone. About 3/4.
So I got some new ones from the local NOT off-the-rack parts store for a
whopping $4.85, already mounted in the holder (no soldering!!! ;) )but I
could NOT get the cases apart!

On my Toyotas, I have no problem splitting the cases. This one would not
come apart!

How much was the rebuild, do you remember?

Less than $50 IIRC. It was more for a Ford 3G large case but it required a
new front housing also.

On the Chrysler Denso's I have seen (the one from the Dynasty is partially
disassembled sitting on my kitchen floor) brush access is a simple matter of
removing the sheet metal cover on the back of the alt. The screws are really
tight though.
