'94 TBird LX V8, 67k mi.
When I start it in the morning, I hear a very hi-pitched whine/squeal from area of motor while car is parked. Been going on for quite some time.
I've replaced the belt-tensioner and idler pulleys. With new bearings in the pulleys, I guess it's more-or-less gotta be the alternator.
I put a long ratchet extension on alt. housing, open end in my po' ear: I do hear a grinding-like sound, but ...
Any way to confirm it's an alt. bearing?
If it is, how to proceed? Practical to rebuild my-own-self?
Etc, etc.
TIA, Puddin'
