    Valeo Alternator diode pack change. Alternator fitted.

    Hi, My alternator seems to be draining my battery. 0.4Amps while connected going down to 0.035Amps when disconnected. My question is this...Is it possible to change the alternator diode pack with the alternator fitted? Its on a 2005 182 with aircon... Thanks for any input.
