Scott,

Yes, I wrecked mine in May when I hit a couple inches of hail on I-90.  I b=
ought back the salvage and I replaced the wrecked one with another one.

I am thinking brushes also. Just need to find a way to get the old alternat=
or out - the top bolts are pretty inaccessible and are too tight for any to=
ol I have that will reach them. I'll check the belt for glazing, but it loo=
ked pretty good the last time I checked it.

thanks,
mike
