Thank you all for your valuable feedback and advice. I did find a place in Oshawa that rebuilds starters and alternators. I had to remove the unit and bring it to them. Then pick it up that same day and reinstall it myself (fairly easy re&re).

They only charged me $180(CDN). They did a complete rebuild, with new bearings, stator, bushings, contacts, posts and a few other items I can't recall!!!

Anyways, it is back up and running well again.
Thanks again.
