Chris,


You can take em out without removing the alternator to
see how bad they are.  I recently replaced mine but
about 2 months later the lights came back on.  Turns
out my alternator was messed up inside and wearing out
the bushings very fast, so i replaced the entire thing
- no problems since.


good luck
