I sense an alternator removal for me too.
Any lowdown on how to do it on a KV6?

Found this, from the forum links.

Is it really this easy on a KV6?

Can you get service kits for alternators, or is it a new one, possibly SMC on evilbay?
Mine heats quite a bit in use, even though only charging a recently flat battery at 5A, suggesting a diode pack gone.

I check the drain with the engine off again, for a few minutes, doors locked and bonnet switch held down..it was 400mA but perhaps I didn't give it long enough...
Thinking it may be draining into the alternator.

I have always found this small outfit to be VERY helpful, might be worth a ring.I took a starter motor of a 60s classic in last week, they gave it a full test, checked brushes for length,solenoid and windings etc.All ok and while I waited....NO CHARGE!!P.
