Sounds like you're making some progress. Yeah, left handed drill bits are a "bit" rare. (couldn't resist). <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
Anyhow, as far as alternator rebuilder: Gen-Star in Glendale. 6832 N. 63rd Ave. Ph: 623-939-2202. Been there forever.
Good luck w/ the removal.
