Yup, exactly. I would think it is the same on the 603 as the 617, it is the black plastic part held on by two screws on the back (opposite of pulley) of the unit. Very easy to replace and usually what fails before the alternator itself. On fastlane. Might be able to get it at the parts store too...

knowing where you are, I'll throw in a good word for napa middletown, they have a huge warehouse and stock almost EVERYTHING. Plus I used to work there
