Battery draining overnight
That's a squareback or possibly a revised squareback alternator.
They are pretty easy to open up.
Before doing that, might want to see if the ohmeter will show continuity between the case and the output stud.
Then to open it up.
First remove the brushes.
Then flip it over and remove the three long case screws.
Seperate the two halves keeping the stator windings with the back (output stud).
The output stud should be completely insulated from the case.
If it is, then the battery drain must have been going back into the positve rectifiers.
One of the electronic guys can probably be more helpful about how that could happen.
As you can see it everthing can be removed and replaced easily except for the pulley and bearings.
(and yes I forgot to remove the brushes before disassembling that time. oops)
