Yup, the spacer is gone. I think the guy I took it too had one of his techs do this job because he wouldn't make this sort of mistake. When I went to take out the alternator I noticed not only was the spacer missing by the nut on the back was gone too. I'll be having some words to bring this to my mechanics attention. Not only that but to get by without using the spacer the tech shoved the alternator in to a press and backed out the insert to take the space of the spacer. I am not amused. I'm fairly certain that those two things (the press and lack of spacer) that caused the alternator to crack.
