(not stupid though) Best option, butg if you need it 7-10 days for shipping is standard.johnny butt wrote:take it to a local shop. It's an easy part for someone that regularly cleans starters/alternators to rebuild especially if it's out of the car already. Shouldn't be very expensive, and they can usually get it done and back to you the next day.
I had both my alternator and starter rebuilt locally and back on my motorset (before it was swapped in) in no time.
