You may only need a new brush pack as opposed to a complete Alternator.
If you can tap on the alternator at idle and the battery light shuts off when you are tapping, the brushes have worn out
The shroud is removeable from the rear of the alternator and the brushes are held in with 2 very tight phillips screws.
