Can the bearings be replaced in an alternator, without replacing the alternator?

Sure.

Just don't expect to find much info on it. Generally, replacing the whole unit is far more cost effective than trying to repair it, Since you can generally get one for $100 or so (depending on application of course). I'd even go so far as to say the only reliable way to get the bearing sizes would be by measuring them once removed.

The other reason most people simply replace them is that even the cheapy ones usually have a lifetime warranty, so unless you bust it up, or didn't keep your receipt, you just take it back and swap it out *when* it burns up.

Good luck, if you decide to do the repair, post some pics!
