Which bearing went out? Front or Back?  If its the front bearing, your belt
may be too tight. You do your own work?
 
A number of listers replace their own bearings. I think lister Konstantin
Bogach put in his own bearings. He might have part numbers for you, and the
procedure.
 
I'd sooner rebuild my own alternator than swap in a rebuilt one. Its no
advantage to a rebuilder to put in a quality set of bearings. They want you
back in a year.
