The link to the rebuild is on TechNet at:

Another difference between alternators is that ours has a threaded mount hole on the back for the stock mini bracket that mounts to the head. The smaller non ZR-1 units don't have this hole and therefore the bracket is useless. I suppose the good news is that without that bracket you can remove the alternator without removing the plenum. There is a TechNet article on that too.
The link on the registry site doesn't seem to work. Can you point me in the right direction on how to rebuild our alternators?
