The noise you're hearing may not be the bearings. It could be the decoupler. It's like a clutch on the alternator. Some alternator repair shops can replace them. I wouldn't want you to go out and get a new alternator if you don't need one.
search this forum for alternator decoupler, I'm sure you'll find a thread or two on it.
In regards to your hesitation, I can't think of any more advice than anyone else has already given you.
Good luck. Let us know what happens.
